作者簡介
馬洛是當時“大學才子”（即：莎士比亞之前英國人文主義戲劇家的總稱）中最富才華的人。在他短暫的一生中，他完成了六部劇本的創作。其中最富有名的有《帖木兒》.（上卷與下卷1587-1588)"Tamburlaine,Parts I , II(1587-1588)《浮士德博士的悲劇》（1589？）"Dr.Faustus(1589?)《馬爾他島的猶太人》（1590？）"The Jew of Malta"(1590?)以及《愛德華二世》（1592-1593）"Edward II"(1592-1593)。除劇本外，馬洛還寫了《海洛與勒安德爾》" Hero and Leander"和《激情的牧人致心愛的姑娘》"The Passionate Shepherd to His Love"兩首詩，並翻譯了古羅馬詩人奧維德的《愛的藝術》(a verse translation of Ovid's Amores").
英文簡介
Tamburlaine is a play about an ambitious and pitiless Tartar conqueror in the fourteeth century who rose from a shepherd to an overpoweringking.Byflouting the given order and trampling on despairing princes,Tamburlaine displayed a high-aspiring mind that was self-created and carried by love and dreams beyond the limits of moral existence.His victories were a triumph of immense natural energy and of ruthlessness over equally cruel but weak and decadent civilizations.By depicting a great hero with high ambition and sheer brutal force in conquering one enemy after another,Marlowe voiced the supreme desire of the man of the Renaissance for infinite power and authority.In fact,Tamburlaine is a product of Marlowe's characteristically Renaissance imagination,fascinated by the earthly magnificence available to men of imaginative power who have the energy of their convictions.（reproduction of material without witten permission is strictly prohibited.Contact me for permission to copy this article,Hope you can make comments on them.

漢語簡介
《帖木兒》講述了14世紀一個普通牧民帖木兒，如何登上國王寶座，成為一個野心勃勃，殘暴無情的韃靼統治者的故事。通過蔑視上方的命令並粗暴對待那些陷入絕境的王公們，帖木兒展示了一顆報負不凡的野心，這可自我培養的野心還充滿了不受道德約束的情慾。他的節節勝利是他巨大的自然力量的勝利，也是他殘暴對待同樣殘酷但卻更軟弱頹廢的聞名世界的勝利，馬洛通過刻畫一個百戰百勝的梟雄，表達了文藝復興時期的人們渴望獲得無窮力量與權勢的心情。
