 Irving, Edmund Gosse, and Frederick Rogers.^^^ J. H. Ingram's 

 Christopher Marlowe and His Associates (1904) contains valual:)]e 

 facsimiles of Marlov^e documents, some bibhographical informa- 

 tion, and previously unpublished transcripts of Canterbury wills. 

 made by relatives of the poet. Otherwise this book and its briefer 

 replica, Marlozve and His Poetry (1914), contribute little. The 

 most important recent discoveries concerning Marlowe's life are 

 the Corpus Christi College records of his residence, published by 

 Professor G. C. Moore Smith ('Marlowe at Cambridge,' Modern 

 Language Revieiv, 1909). Professor Boas's investigations of the 

 connection between Kyd and Marlowe ('New Light on Marlowe 

 and Kyd,' Fortnightly Reviezv, 1899; Works of Kyd, 1901) and 

 M. F.-C. Danchin's of the atheistic scandal in which Marlowe 

 was involved (Rcznic Gcrnianiquc, 1913-14) brought out some new 

 material, as did Sidney Lee's article in the Dictionary of Natiotial 

 Biography (i893)."» 



Appreciation of Marlowe on the continent of Europe began in 

 Germany in the time of Tieck and A. W. Schlegel. Goethe spoke 

 high praise of Doctor Faitstus in conversation with Crabb Robinson 

 (1829) : 'I mentioned Marlowe's Faust. He burst out into an 

 exclamation of praise. "How greatly it is all planned !" He had 

 thought of translating it. He was fully aware that Shakespeare 

 did not stand alone.' The first German translation of this play, 

 by W. Miiller, appeared in 1818. E. von Billow's AltcngJischc 

 Schauhiihne (1831) added versions of the Jew of Malta and 

 Edzvard H, and M. Vohl one of the first part of Tanihurlainc in 

 1893. The two hundred and twenty pages devoted to Marlowe 

 in the third volume of Friedrich Bodenstedt's Shakespeare's 

 Zcitgenosscn nnd ihre Wcrke (i860) may be said to have paved 

 the way for the very extensive recent investigation of the poet in 

 Germany.^-"

""In the Athenaeum (Aug. 18, 1894) Lee called attention to 'Another 

 new Fact about Marlowe' (the bond of 1588). Air. F. K. Brown published 

 in the Times Literary Supplement, June 2, 1921, a previoush- unprinted 

 letter of Kyd concerning Marlowe. 



'"" Bodenstedt gave a complete translation of Faiistits, ed. 1616, with dis- 

 cussions and specimen translations of other plays.
