Welcome to Litsy!

Marlowe‘s history play, written at the end of his short life. It was interesting. Best writing was at the beginning and end, where there were some nice poetic speeches. Recent productions tend to focus on the homosexuality, but the playtext itself seems more complex - there‘s quite a focus on politics (and Edward‘s ignorance of it).

A much more relevant piece than I was expecting today. #InaugurationDay

So it begins: the first PhD reading. #books #bookstagram #gradschool #phd #earlymodernism #edwardii #marlowe

I really enjoyed this! It was such a surprise, but it was totally worth the read.
