Doctor Faustus
Was this the face that launched a thousand ships? Dr. Faustus famously asks of Helen of Troy when he conjures her at the suggestion of his students in this major work, written in 1588. A master scholar, Faust, dissatisfied by the limitations of book learning, seeks higher knowledge through black magic, which leads to a private audience with
Mephostophilis, Satan's courier. Faust agrees to sell his soul to the devil in return for 24 years of Mephostophilis's bidding. With the dark compact sealed, the play presents the conflict
between Renaissance man's drive for knowledge and God's ultimate mystery. There is a long textual history of the character Faustus in literature, manifesting in particular as source material for Marlowe in a 1587 Frankfurt piece which describes an apparently actual Dr. Faustus, practitioner of the blackest arts.
