4. 'Invirond round with ayrie mountaine tops': Marlowe's source for 'Doctor Faustus.'

Abstract

While the English Faust Book (EFB) has been accepted as the source for Christopher Marlowe's 'Doctor Faustus,' the date of the earliest edition of EFB and its effect on the dating of the play is uncertain. A description of the town Trier in the play differs from the description in the EFB. A possible source in a description of Trent in another work suggests that Marlowe used an edition of EFB which had 'Trent' instead of 'Trier' and the name in the play was later changed. This supports a dating for the play before 1592.

Abstract

The article focuses on the brief description of character Faust's world tour in scene vii of the book "Doctor Faustus," which has long been used as evidence that dramatist Christopher Marlowe used the English Faust Book (EFB) as his main source, rather than the German Faust Book of 1587. The EFB contains additional descriptive material which Marlowe draws upon. One crucial result has emerged from a bibliographic study of the early editions of the EFB, in particular, of the 1608 and 1610 editions.
