Among the many biographies of Christopher Marlowe that were published in the years following Leslie Hotson's watershed The Death of Christopher Marlowe, Henderson's is almost completely unremarkable. He adds nothing new to the study of Marlowe's life, and in a few cases his research is sadly deficient. Most notably, Henderson failed to recognize that J. Le Gay Brereton's "The Case of Francis Ingram" was a satire, and took Brereton to task for his fanciful claims. There are plenty of better biographies than this one. ( )
