Description:Excerpt from The English Wagner Book of 1594: Edited With Introduction and Notes; Inaugural-Dissertation Der Philosophischen Fakultat I. Sektion Der Kgl; Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Munchen, Zur Erlangung Der Doktorwurde, Eingereicht Den 18; Dezember, 1903 The subject matter of this thesis is not the splendid tragedy of Doctor Faustus which Shakespeare doubtless saw and admired, but, rather, a review of the material Marlowe used and the dross he left in the mould in fashioning his drama. Such, in general, is the Stoff I have aimed to sift and analyse in this dissertation. Carlyle, struggling to bring order out of Cromwell's letters, wrote complainingly of the mighty dust-mountain which he had to level in order to reach the true gold. A similar task I have undertaken; for, no better term than dust-mountain can designate the numberless ballads, marionettes, and penny dreadfuls which were published under the name of the Life and Death of Dr. Faustus from A. D. 1630 to A. D. 1830. This scrap-heap has been barely touched upon in my notes. I have chosen to spend most of my time and effort upon a description of the English Faust and Wagner Books which appeared between 1592 and 1858, in order to give a clear and comprehensive view of a subject that must continue to be of absorbing interest to scholars and laymen alike so long as literature endures.
