from discussions with a number of undergraduate andpostgraduate students at East Anglia:Albert Chua,Gail Ching-Liang Low,Himansu Mohapatra,Jane Rondot and John Twyn-ing.It is also a pleasure to acknowledge the institutional andintellectual support that I have received within my departmentwhile writing this book from Patricia Hollis and Roger Fowler.Anne,William and Jessica Sales have all helped in their own veryspecial ways.The existence of the Royal Shakespeare Company'sSwan Theatre has meant that there are now more opportunities tosee Marlowe's plays in performance.It was fortunate
