A review by kitnotmarlowe
This Marlowe by Michelle Butler Hallett
Did not finish book. Stopped at 41%.
this was recommended to me several times by a friend (kit if you see this, i am so sorry) and i gave it my best shot, but ultimately i wasn't enjoying myself enough to continue. the book is written in a style mimicking 16th-century english, thou-you-formal-informal pronouns abound! this wasn't a problem for me (though some of the repeated interjections got on my nerves a little bit), and replacing quotation marks with dashes only made things a little bit confusing.
anyway, i've been interested in christopher marlowe since approximately age 10. interested enough to name myself. but this book simply could not hold my interest. i felt there was too much distance between hallett and her subjects that kept me from being emotionally invested.
