Abstract
Marlowe changed the point of view [from that which he found in the Faustbook]; Faust is no longer an unintelligible magician looked at from the outside, but a living man thirsting for the infinite; the sinner becomes a hero, a Tamburlaine, no longer eager to ‘ride in triumph through Persepolis’, who at the thought of vaster delights has ceased to care for the finite splendours of an earthly crown.
