The Image of the Eastern Ruler in the Works of Christopher Marlowe

The given article claims to reveal the character of Eastern monarchs and Eastern medieval realities in total through the prism of such a renowned English poet and playwright named Christopher Marlowe. Thus, the actual goal of the research is to examine the image of the Orient on the basis of  the following Marlowe’s  play: “Tamburlaine the Great”. The author analyzes how this image corresponds to the historical Tamburlaine and the East of his time; how Marlowe represents relations between the Oriental and European worlds as well as how appropriate it is to put this Marlowe’s play (and, generally, works by his contemporaries) into the post colonial discourse that is popular nowadays.
