The Life And Death Of Doctor Faustus - William Mountfort

The Life and Death of Doctor Faustus: Made into a Farce by Mr. Mountford is a play written by William Mountfort in 1886. The play is a comedic adaptation of the classic tragedy Doctor Faustus by Christopher Marlowe. The story follows the titular character, a brilliant scholar who makes a deal with the devil in exchange for unlimited knowledge and power. However, as his power grows, Faustus becomes increasingly corrupted and ultimately faces a tragic end. Mountfort's version of the story takes a more lighthearted approach, with exaggerated characters and slapstick humor. Despite the comedic tone, the play still touches on themes of greed, temptation, and the consequences of making deals with the devil. The Life and Death of Doctor Faustus: Made into a Farce by Mr. Mountford is a unique and entertaining take on a classic tale.With The Humors Of Harlequin And Scaramouche, London, 1697.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
