Christopher Marlowe: Works
built 627 days ago
The mere inclusion of same-sex love themes in Marlowe's works has been seen as signifying a biographical interest. Diligent classicists often mimicked the homosexual themes they found in Greek and Roman texts (as Edmund Spenser did in The Shepheard's Calendar), but Marlowe accords these themes more prominence than almost any other writer besides Richard Barnfield. In conjunction with the rumours preserved in the historical record, the prominence of homosexual themes in Marlowe's work has led, especially in the twentieth century, to a presumption of interest in same-sex love (although not necessarily of homosexual activity).
