Genius Q&A
When did Christopher Marlowe's first album release?
Community Answer
Christopher Marlowe's first album The Jew of Malta released in 1590.
Playwright, poet, rebel, spy–some critics claim Marlowe (1564-1593) would have been as good as his contemporary Shakespeare if he hadn’t died young in a bar brawl. Nowadays he’s best known for Doctor Faustus, and for making blank verse the default form for drama in the Early Modern period.
