Blake describes the suffering he observes in the streets of London. He hears and sees signs of weakness and woe on the faces of those he passes. In every cry he detects mind-forged manacles. Whether it is the cries of chimney sweeps or sighs of hapless soldiers, blood runs down palace walls. Most disturbing are the curses of harlots throughout the night that blast newborns tears and plague marriage itself.

2. Marlow was born in Canterbury only a few months before
Shakespeare. He is considered as Shakespeare’s master in tragedy.
He was the son of a poor shoemaker John Marlow.
He studied at Cambridge.
In 1587, at the age of 23, he produced Tamburlaine.
He wrote only tragedies during five years of his writing career (1587 -
1593).
3. A warrant was issued for Marlow’s arrest on 18th May 1593, and no
reason was given for it. He was knifed to death by Ingram Frizer in
1593.
Marlow’s first play was performed on the regular stage in London in
1587, was Tamburlaine the Great, about the conqueror.
Tamburlaine who growths from Shepherd to War-lord.
Tamburlaine was a great success and it was followed by Tamburlaine
part II.
The two parts of Tamburlaine were published in 1590.
4. All Marlow’s other works were published subsequently.
Ben Jonson invented the phrase ‘Marlow’s Mighty Lines’, that means
Marlowe's blank verse with its new vigor, force and fire to suit his heroic
themes.
All Marlow’s tragedies are “one man tragedy’
‘Tamburlaine Must Die’ (2004) by Loise Welsh is a novella that recounts the last
few days of Marlow.
In the play “As You Like It” Shakespeare paid tribute to Marlow by saying him
“Dead shepherd.”
George Peele remembered Marlow as “Marley, the Muses darling.”
5. He introduced an important element – “Internal struggle” into English.
Thomas Nash called Marlow – “Poor deceased Kit Marlowe.”
A. C. Swinburne in his “Contemporaries of Shakespeare” stated
that Marlow, Green and Peele are three gifted men who have been
thus joined by such critics as in three hundred years.
