签名

1593年5月18日,英国政府下令通缉马洛,但却并没有列出任何理由。同月20日,马洛于被带到英国枢密院前接受审讯,其后需要每天向他们报到。10天后,马洛与Ingram Frizer等人争执期间,被Ingram Frizer用匕首刺死。到了现在,仍没有人知道他的死与枢密院的审问有没有关连。[3]

生平

早年

马洛在英格兰东南部的坎特伯雷出生,父亲John Marlowe为造鞋匠,母亲名Catherine。[4]马洛的出生日期不详,但因为当时婴儿在出生后必须受洗,而马洛的领洗日期为1564年2月26日,所以假定他于1564年2月中出生。

马洛中学毕业于国王公学,其后拿奖学金进入剑桥大学基督圣体学院就读,于1584年毕业[5]

戏剧

他可能是悲剧《欲念的支配英语Lust's Dominion》(Lust's Dominion)的1657年首版作者,但很多学者反对这个观点。[6]
