    Marlowe as a Secret

    No direct evidence supports
    this theory, but the council's
    letter clearly suggests that
    Marlowe was serving the
    government in some secret
    capacity.

    writing for the theater

    Christopher Marlowe's
    literary career lasted less
    than six years, and his life
    only 29 years, his
    achievements, most notably
    the play The Tragicall History
    of Doctor Faustus, ensured

    born in 1552, or possibly 1554,


    and grew up in

    attended Oriel College, Oxford,


    and studied law at the Middle
    Temple law college. During this
    time, he began his life-long
    interest in writing poetry.
    fought in the service of Queen
    Elizabeth I in Ireland, Tall,
    handsome, and superbly selfconfident, Raleigh rose rapidly at
    Elizabeth Is court, upon his return,
    and quickly became a favorite. She
    rewarded him with a large estate
    in Ireland, monopolies, trade
    privileges, knighthood, and the
    right to colonize North America. In
    1586, he was appointed captain of
    the Queens Guard, his highest
    office at court.
    Extravagant in his dress and
    conduct, the legend that he spread
    his expensive cloak over a puddle
    for the Queen has never been
    documented, but many historians
    believe him capable of such a
    gesture.
    Due to his isolation his writingtable grew to be the one spot
    where he found consolation, and
    after having been the most casual
    of fashionable amateurs, he
    became the most voluminous
    writer of his age. Between 1606
    and 1616 it is probable that no one
    in England blackened so much
    paper.
    Only one of his many
    compositions, completed or
    projected in the Tower, was
    published in Raleighs lifetime. This
    was The History of the
    World, begun probably in 1607,
    and published, under the care of
