'The chapters treat individual plays and are insightful and convincing throughout, but of particular interest are Martin's interpretations of Dido, Queene of Carthage and The Massacre at Paris, the two least-studied of Marlowe's plays...Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.' - B. E. Brandt, South Dakota State University, CHOICE Martin offers challenging readings that rethink Marlowe's plays. His pervasive use of psychoanalysis should also renew the importance of this literary tool. Tragedy and Trauma in the Plays of Christopher Marlowe will appeal to undergraduates and academics studying these disciplines. - Frank Swannack, University of Salford, UK
