Christopher Marlowe (1564 - 1593) was an English dramatist, poet and translator of the Elizabethan era. He greatly influenced William Shakespeare, who rose to become the pre-eminent Elizabethan playwright after Marlowe’s mysterious early death. Marlowe has often been described as a spy, a brawler, a heretic and a homosexual, as well as a “magician”, “duellist”, “tobacco-user”, “counterfeiter” and “rakehell.”
