| Day 3 - Christopher Marlowe  | Marlowe was Shakespeare’s contemporary and fellow dramatist, known as the father of English tragedy. After his mysterious death (he was stabbed in a tavern brawl, but some scholars suggest it was an assassination) he was rumored to have been a spy, a brawler, a heretic and a homosexual. | | "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love"
Though his literary reputation rests on his four great tragic plays (Dr. Faustus, Tamburlaine, The Jew of Malta and Edward the Second), he is best remembered today for this pastoral love song.
