Episode 1 – “Doctor Faustus” by Christopher Marlowe
Manage episode 153448380 series 1090159
Welcome to the inaugural Bookworm History podcast! Today we’re delving into the real world behind Christopher Marlowe’s immortal “Doctor Faustus”, the brilliant-but-bored German magician who sold his soul to the devil. Before he was ever immortalized by Marlowe, Faust was a real person (although a pretty cut-rate magician who probably didn’t sell his soul to the devil). Magic! Demons! A maddeningly non-linear story of publication! All that and more!
