In 'Marlowe - Soul'd to the Devil', you will read how this ambitious Divinity student from Canterbury and Cambridge became a poet and playwright as well as Shakespeare's most serious rival. Moving from Cambridge to London, Marlowe writes smash-hit plays, erotic poetry and also acts as an informer for Queen Elizabeth's spymaster, Walsingham. As such he is also sent to France and Holland to spy on the queen's potential enemies. However, back home, despite his success with 'Tamburlaine' and 'Doctor Faustus', he makes some powerful enemies through his unconventional views and alleged sexual preferences. As a result his meteoric career crashes in an unexpected way.
