This is Michael Keefer's excellent 1604 version of Marlowe's text. His introduction reconstructs the Renaissance ideological concepts that shaped and deformed Doctor Faustus, and the text is accompanied by collations, textual and explanatory notes, and excerpts from sources. The appendices include variants from the 1616 text and excerpts from The History of . . . Doctor John Faustus, Henricus Cornelius Agrippa, and John Calvin.
