Marlowe and Shakespeare The Critical Rivalry

“Robert Sawyer’s Marlowe and Shakespeare: The Critical Rivalry takes the complex meaning of the term ‘rival’ in the early modern period as something between ‘competitor’ and ‘partner’ or even ‘collaborator’ to survey the way the two playwrights have been viewed in relation to one another … . The book will be very valuable to graduate students, in particular, who wish to learn the critical history of their field and to any scholar interested in the cultural history of literary criticism.” (Henry S. Turner, SEL Studies in English Literature 1500-1900, Vol. 58 (02), 2018)
