Abstract

Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593) emerges in most accounts of his life by biographers and critics as a mysterious and sensational action figure, a hapless pawn of circumstance, or a pseudonymous cipher. Constance Brown Kuriyama's new biography reconstructs the eventful life of a radically innovative playwright who flourished briefly and died violently more than four hundred years ago, yet persists in the romantic imagination even today.Many discoveries about Marlowe's life have emerged over the past hundred years. The author here supplements these findings with new material, placing the dramatist and poet more precisely in his historical milieu. Kuriyama interprets Marlowe's acts of violence-inexplicable though they may seem-as logical consequences of the circumstances he faced. Experience and temperament both accounted for the characteristically brash way he moved through the world. The stringent constraints of Elizabethan society, which encouraged intense political and religious conflicts, had a great influence on Marlowe's thinking, while his ambitions were stirred by the period's unprecedented opportunities for talented individuals to rise in society.The documentary evidence assembled by Kuriyama-and made available to readers-allows her to show how Marlowe was able to take advantage of Elizabethan social mobility. In the context of Elizabethan education, society, and culture, Marlowe becomes a fully human, three-dimensional figure.

Abstract

Peu de sujets de l'actualité contemporaine ne sauraient trouver dans l'œuvre de Christopher Lasch des explications de fond. Son analyse est d'une puissance critique inégalée parce qu'il évite l'écueil de ceux qui critiquent le capitalisme contemporain tout en présentant ses dégâts comme le prix du progrès matériel et moral. Chronique de la rencontre programmée entre la fuite en progrès, c'est-à-dire la destruction méthodique au nom du principe de plaisir de tous les piliers de l'ordre bourgeois et la rationalisation de tous les aspects de la vie par la dynamique du capitalisme, la critique du progrès de Lasch est fondée sur l'étude de la personnalité dominante produite par le capitalisme avancé : Narcisse ou le moi minimal. Au travers des grands thèmes qui traversent la pensée de Lasch – l'ascendance du moi narcissique, le mirage d'une « science pure de la société », la construction d'un État thérapeutique, la substitution de la méritocratie à l'idéal d'une société sans classe en tant qu'incarnation du rêve américain – l'ouvrage présente un panorama des diagnostics toujours justes de Lasch sur son temps et sur la catastrophe anthropologique du capitalisme de consommation. Il expose aussi la philosophie de l'espérance que Lasch a articulée au travers de l'exploration d'une tradition civique américaine dont la redécouverte offre des pistes au monde entier afin de faire en sorte que la volonté de construire une société meilleure demeure vivace sur les décombres encore fumants de la social-démocratie.
