Reviews

"Christopher Marlowe and the Failure to Unify represents an original, well researched thesis investigating overlooked historical and critical sources. Undergraduates, academics, and interested readers will find in Duxfield’s book invaluable and entertaining insights into Marlowe’s plays."- Frank Swannack, University of Salford, UK"Duxfield’s argument that the plays of Christopher Marlowe show a tendency towards and an ultimate subversion of unity remains strong throughout the monograph and in his extensive coverage of the entirety of Marlowe’s dramatic works. While drawing on past scholarship in order to situate the thesis, Duxfield’s argument remains strong and clear throughout, and adds a fresh texture to the scholarly conversation on Marlowe’s plays."- Hayley Coble, University of Minnesota, USA"This is a significant and welcome addition to the canon of key critical interventions on the work of Christopher Marlowe."- Adam Hansen review: English, 66:252 (2017), pp. 88–91
