A Dead Man in Deptford

About this book

The whole of Elizabethan England--from the court and its intrigue to the theatre and its genius to London and its slums--is brilliantly recreated in this joyous celebration of the life of Christopher Marlowe, killed in highly suspicious circumstances in a tavern brawl in Deptford hundreds of years ago.
