Abstract:
Christopher Marlowe’s play Doctor Faustus is a problematic work in regards to the issues of its date and authorship, but one thing can be stated with certainty: it was inspired by The History of the Damnable Life and Deserved Death of Doctor John Faustus which is commonly known as the English Faust Book. The present article observes inter-textual dimensions between Marlowe’s tragedy Doctor Faustus and its prose source-book – the English Faust Book. The article discusses intertextual relations both at paradigmatic and syntagmatic levels. According to the analysis, it becomes obvious that despite several similarities between the two texts, certain differences also exist which are conditioned by political and religious factors of time and social-historical factors of space.

Abstract:
The first article in the first issue of the original TQ was a piece by Jan Knott, utilizing the concept of the absurd as a means of understanding Greek tragedy. Recently, his essays, of which many first appeared in TQ, have been published in a new collection, The Theatre of Essence, from Northwestern University Press. Kott's idiosyncratic approach to the interpretation of theatre texts continues to distinguish him as one of those rare literary critics whose insights illuminate the play in production – the reflection in the Brook–Scofield King Lear of his Beckettian interpretation in the seminal Shakespeare Our Contemporary being just the most famous instance. Now Jan Kott, who teaches at the State University of New York, Stony Brook, turns to the world of Shakespeare's own contemporary, Christopher Marlowe, and examines Doctor Faustus as the meeting-place of many kinds of Elizabethan and pre-Elizabethan theatre, contributing to an understanding of the play that is rooted not in a dead theology but in a living theatricality.

Full text
Abstract:
En Angleterre, la révolution scientifique coïncide avec la Renaissance. Il n'est pas surprenant dès lors que Marlowe et Shakespeare s'emparent de la figure du savant dans Doctor Faustus et The Tempest. La science est encore plus présente dans l'oeuvre de Bacon : New Atlantis dépeint une société idéale dont la prospérité et le bonheur dépendent d'une institution scientifique nommée "Maison de Salomon". Le terme "savant" est néanmoins problématique. Il ne correspond à aucune catégorie sociale ou culturelle de l'époque. On peut cependant tenter de définir certains des traits que partagent alors les "philosophes naturels" : quoique très influencés par l'humanisme, ils témoignent d'un très vif intérêt pour la technique et tentent de défendre la magie contre les critiques féroces des théologiens. Ces trois aspects – l'humanisme, la magie et la technique – trouvent à leur façon leur place dans The Tempest et Doctor Faustus. La représentation populaire du savant hésite entre rejet et raillerie. Le savant est perçu soit comme un dangereux athée, soit comme un mélancolique inadapté au réel. Ce n'est pas à dire que la représentation littéraire ou sociale du savant soit parfaitement uniforme. Les savants prennnent, pour leur part, de plus en plus conscience de la communauté à laquelle ils appartiennent : la rhétorique agonistique s'efface derrière l'affirmation d'une nouvelle sociabilité. Mais la science demeure une activité ambiguë jusqu'à la fin de la période. L'enthousiasme de Bacon s'oppose à l'image plus ambivalente que Marlowe et Shakespeare proposent de la science, dont on sait combien la littérature, par la suite, critiquera les dérives potentielles
In England the dawn of the "Scientific Revolution" coincided with the Renaissance. It is therefore no accident that dramatists like Marlowe and Shakespeare seized on the figure of the "scientist" in Doctor Faustus and The Tempest. Science is even more present a theme in Bacon's works : in New Atlantis he describes an ideal society whose prosperity and comfort depend on a scientific institution which he calls the "House of Salomon. " The "scientist" was certainly not a "natural" feature of the social or cultural environment. One may say, however, that "natural philosophers", as they were sometimes called, shared a number of common characteristics. While still very much influenced by the humanist tradition, they expressed a very strong interest in technology. They also believed in magic and tried to legitimize its use in the face of the theologians' strictures. All three aspects – humanism, magic and technology – found their way into Doctor Faustus and The Tempest. On the whole, the popular image of the scientist was poised between rejection and mockery. He was seen either as a dangerous atheist or as a melancholy man detached from reality. Yet the literary depiction of the scientist was by no means a uniform one. Scientific treatises reveal the scientists' growing sense that they belonged to a learned community. They stopped emphasizing their isolation and gave prominence to their links with other scientists. Science remained an ambivalent pursuit until the end of the period. Bacon's enthusiasm is profoundly at odds with Shakespeare's or Marlowe's more ambivalent depiction which prefigures the later literary representations of science as a potentially destructive activity

Jones, Louise. "Stage action as metaphor in Marlowe's Doctor Faustus." Virtual Press, 1991. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/774755.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of the study is to establish the critical need for stage action in order to understand fully the theme of Marlowe's Doctor Faustus. Marlowe's primary intent is to invert the morality play, illustrating the distortions and ambiguities of a systematized religion and to establish the human dilemma when man is faced with moral choices. To illustrate this inversion, Marlowe uses emblematic action for an effect opposite to that of the traditional moralities: Often this action goes beyond the emblem, becoming a metaphor for Marlowe's theme, man as a victim, conflicting within himself and within the system which governs his morality.Chapter one introduces this theme and the crucial need for staging Marlowe's ideas. The first chapter also establishes a compromise of the textual problems inherent within any study of Doctor Faustus. Since the study argues that audience reaction is important to Marlowe's intent, attention is paid to how audience response governs the play's interpretation.Chapter two is a critical review of the historical staging practices which must be considered when studying the dramatic text. Included are stage size, costuming, and special effects.Chapter three is the advancement of the thesis in a scene by scene analysis of the text with special attention to the action as metaphor. Considered is how audience reaction represents part of Marlowe's purpose; the increasing tension of the audience furthers Marlowe's concept of the ambiguities present when humans are faced with moral choices. This purpose is traced scene by scene with specific attention to how it is metaphorically portrayed on stage.Chapter four is separate as a director's book, with the text reproduced, together with the researcher's marginal notes on specific blocking and with footnotes emplacing and expanding on the metaphorical action as it appears in the text.

Full text
Abstract:
Focusing on the A-text (1604) version of Marlowe's Doctor Faustus , this study further assesses biographical information on the poet and intellectual currents of the Counter Reformation, so as to investigate the play's relation to emergent trends of individualism in the Renaissance, recovery of the pagan past, and intellectual aspirations that could readily collide with orthodoxy. Clearly reflecting anxieties of the period about individual deviance from social norms through intellectual overreaching, Doctor Faustus powerfully testifies to the potential dangers of human aspiration and the scholarly spirit of unbounded learning. While thus exploring the exotic temptations of forbidden knowledge, the play resurrects and interrogates traditional taboos which related intellectual appetite to wrongful lust. Marlowe stages an explosive conflict between the conservative tradition of intellectual inquiry, which distrusted the unorthodox scholarship and Neoplatonic magic that some widely influential thinkers promoted in the Italian Renaissance, and Faustus's own creative desires, ambitions, and imagination. The tension between proscribed and prescribed knowledge climaxes in the invocation of Helen of Troy. While Helen's significance is complex, we find that, in relation to the play's concern with dissent from orthodoxy, she focuses the power of intellectual longing to seduce and ravish the mind. Apart from being a superior play, Doctor Faustus encapsulates Marlowe's awareness of his period's uneasy perception of unconventional thinking, and urges the importance of challenging restrictions on how much one is permitted to know.

Abstract:
The Faustian myth may not have started with Christopher Marlowe and the staging of his play The Tragical tale of Dr. Faustus, but few adaptions have managed to become as prominent as Marlowe’s in passing on the Faustian myth. Psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan highlights the presence of a more or less conscious catalyst behind each desire, the objet a (the lost object of desire), thus indicating that desiring is not a straight path but rather a constant filling of the void that comes with being human. In an eerie mirroring of this tendency, the play eloquently paints the picture of Faustus’ incessant search for his true desire -his objet a-, by veiling it in other desires (omnipotence and omniscience). This quest ultimately culminates in the demonic pact with Mephistopheles, which, as will be explored and argued in the analysis is what locks Faustus out from achieving his true desire: salvation. Hence, the main investigative aim of this essay is to asses how Lacan’s objet a can be used to explore the development of the theme of unfilled desire displayed by Marlowe’s protagonist Faustus.

Abstract:
Alfred Schnittke and Thomas Mann were both fascinated by the legend of Doctor Faustus, a Germanic myth based upon the life of a real man who lived in the early sixteenth century. Doctor Faustus was a transgressive figure from the perspective of the Lutheranism that swept Germany during the sixteenth century. His exploits were exaggerated to the point of fantasy and eventually became the basis for a 1587 chapbook by Johann Spies. The Spies chapbook functioned as a morality play censuring the acts of witchcraft and divination and exhorting would be-readers to consign themselves to the grace of God. The chapbook quickly spread throughout Europe and was translated into several languages within a few years. In the twentieth century Thomas Mann wrote the novel Doctor Faustus in which he employed biographical elements from such luminaries as Freidrich Nietzsche and Arnold Schoenberg and combined them with the musical knowledge of Theodore Adorno to create the fictional musician and composer Adrian Leverkühn. Leverkühn is the Doctor Faust for a new century and after reading the novel in 1947 Alfred Schnittke, a Russian composer of German descent, decided to compose a musical work based on the fictional descriptions of music. The resulting work Seid Nuchtern und Wachet became one of Schnittke's most well-known compositions. There is a complex web of interrelated material in these two works of art and this thesis document reveals the dialectical position of Thomas Mann's novel and Alfred Schnittke's work to previous versions of the legend specifically that of Wolfgang Von Goethe.
