Synopsis

While the legend of Faustus has been around in some form or another since the New Testament, Marlowe's drama is the first to give it a place in the pantheon of Western literature. The famous deal Faustus makes with the Devil is a theme repeated since time immemorial and continues to provide a meaningful moral lesson.
