Abstract
Christopher Marlowe is one of the most demystifying and subversive writers of the English Renaissance. He is deeply concerned with court politics through his relationship with the spymaster-in-chief. Sir Francis Walshingham and his circle including his own relatives. Walshingham headed the group of the merchants and merchant adventurers who capitalized on the 1583 Newfoundland expedition initiated by Sir Humphrey Gilbert. Walshingham also was a big share holder of the Moscovy Company and de facto governed the whole company by his Kent family. Therefore we can safely suppose that Marlowe was rather good at the geopolitics and geographical details of the New World and trade passages over land and water through the world. All the Marlovian self-assertive heroes, making themselves strangers 'in their given hierarchical society. represent the New Man of the Renaissance seeking self-sufficiency and self-authority. Marlowe's radical individualism posits and justifies itself by differentiating 'us' and 'others.' Hence the Renaissance discovery of space brings forth the consciousness of ethnic and cultural differences, Just as early English public theaters and their stages manipulate and control 'the stage of the world' for vicarious satisfaction of the gazing audiences. Marlowe s heroes embody both the positive and negative aspects of expanding oversea trade and imperialistic impulse of the English merchants and merchant adventurers. That's why his main characters are all basely born. but still aspiring to the infinite. Presumably Marlowe's first play, Dido. Queen of Carthage. critically depicts the imperialistic drive by internally breaking up the monologism of Aeneas, the man of destiny to found a new nation. Dido's heterogeneous voice of love sounds as strong as Aeneas's voice of heroism. By juxtaposing the cultural encounter between Africa and Europe equivalently, Marlowe left indeterminate the boundary between the barbarian and the civil. Rather Aeneas confesses himself a stranger and acts likewise in Dido's Africa. By following his destiny, not his own will, the urge to imperialism is quite ironically imperiled. This kind of self-alienation is further foregrounded in the case of Tamburlaine. His incessant conquest of Asian and African kings and heathens represents indirectly to the English audience at the Rose theatre their wish-fulfillment of free trade from Virginia to Persia. His spoiling, plundering, and murdering as a kind of nomadic bandit and vagabond reflect the process of primitive accumulation of the English merchant-pirates. Tamburlaine s absolute and radical individualism is destructive because it is life-negating. His spacious world is gradually cramped into the nightmarish study of Doctor Faustus, the watery underground prison of King Edward, and the boiling cauldron of Barabas. These tragic heroes of Marlowe dramatize the destructive energy of budding imperialism of the English Renaissance.
