It is recognisable for its influence, and the "don't aspire beyond the human limits of knowledge" is a tale as old as time itself, but this still holds up magnificently, which I wasn't expecting. A play written in blank verse with the theme of a repentant God, an unrepentant Devil, and a human having sold his soul to the latter in exchange for knowledge and relief from boredom sounds (and is) exciting. It helps that Marlowe keeps it simple, doesn't get too preachy, and fills up the gaps nicely even with a foregone conclusion. TL;DR - don't sell your soul to the Devil, with a capital D - who would have guessed? Not the best Norton Critical that I've come across. A very spare introduction, and rather short on context considering how much there was going on at the time (though there is a healthy dollop of faustbook). A good comparison is the equivalent edition of The Tempest, which seems to do much more with much less. Seems to lean rather heavily on Calvinism as context for the play, taking the difference between the faustbook and Doctor Faustus as mostly theological. This is an interesting approach and offers some good insights on the play (and Marlowe's formative years), but the scope is rather narrow for a Norton Critical. Both the A and B text are provided, naturally with modernized spelling/punctuation. This is not a side-by-side edition: you read them in sequence. Being short, this works fine, and the differences between the two are what make up most of the introduction. I'd recommend supplementing this with the first 3 sections of [b:Lives of Faust: The Faust Theme in Literature and Music: A Reader|7054766|Lives of Faust The Faust Theme in Literature and Music A Reader|Lorna Fitzsimmons|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1381304452s/7054766.jpg|7305946] to get a more complete analysis of the play. As for the play itself, five stars for anything by Marlowe. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

"Doctor Faustus is a classic; its imaginative boldness and vertiginous ironies have fascinated readers and playgoers alike. But the fact that this play exists in two early versions, printed in 1604 and 1616, has posed formidable problems for critics. How much of either version was written by Marlowe, and which is the more authentic? Is the play orthodox or radically interrogative?" "Michael Keefer's early work helped to establish the current consensus that the 1604 version best preserves Doctor Faustus's original form, and that the 1616 text was censored and revised; the first Broadview edition, praised for its lucid introduction and scholarship, was the first to restore two displaced scenes to their correct place. All competing editions presume that the 1604 text was printed from authorial manuscript, and that the 1616 text is of little substantive value. But in 2006 Keefer's fresh analysis of the evidence showed that the 1604 quarto's Marlovian scenes were printed from a corrupted manuscript, and that the 1616 quarto (though indeed censored and revised) preserves some readings earlier than those of the 1604 text." "This revised and updated Broadview edition offers the best available text of Doctor Faustus. Keefer's critical introduction reconstructs the ideological contexts that shaped and deformed the play, and the text is accompanied by textual and explanatory notes and excerpts from sources."--BOOK JACKET.

C’est un autre anachronisme que de la comparer à la version de Goethe qui lui est donc largement postérieure, mais l’ordre de ma lecture m’y a poussée, et on sent que le Faust de Christopher Marlowe est moins complexe que celui de Goethe, les scènes un peu bouffonnes trop nombreuses à mon goût, les références au contexte politique de l’époque plutôt amusantes. Mais le mythe est déjà là, les frictions entre religion et savoir, entre pouvoir et vouloir, entre damnation et rédemption sont toutes en place et commencent à se tendre.
S’il ne fallait lire qu’une des deux pièces, c’est celle de Goethe que je conseillerais, mais celle-ci est très intéressante d’un point de vue culturel, pour ce qu’elle dit d’une époque et d’un théâtre que l’on réduit trop souvent à la seule figure de Shakespeare et pour ce qu’elle montre de l’éclosion et de la maturation d’un mythe.
