Marlowe's Cosmology, William H. Caldwell Apr 1967

Marlowe's Cosmology, William H. Caldwell

Master's Theses

A general study of Marlowe 's cosmology may by no means be original, for numerous critics have mentioned the subject in varying degrees; however, there is a wide disparity or opinion concerning the relative importance of the subject in relation to the playwright. This study is not exhaustive; it is significant, however, because it attempts to prove by means of biographical and historical backgrounds the idea that Mar­lowe had an intellect that was always "climbing after knowledge infin­ite."

In this study there are two obvious omissions: the plays Dido, Queen of Carthage, and The Massacre at Paris. …

An Evaluation Of The Place Occupied By The Greek Pastoral Elegy From Its Earliest Appearance To The Present, Alfred Carney

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice
