Description:Shakespeare and other playwrights on ‘love’. The Parnassus anthology groups quotations by their theme, including Marlowe on love. Christopher Marlowe, who was two months older than Shakespeare, was his main rival as a writer of popular tragedies, such as Tamberlaine and Edward II, staged in the theatres of Southwark. Marlowe's poem Hero and Leander was quoted by Shakespeare in As You Like It (3,5, lines 82-83) 'whoever loved, that loved not at first sight.' Full title: England's Parnassus: the choysest flowers of our moderne poets [compiled by Robert Allott]. Imprinted at London for N. L[ing], C.B[urby] and Th[omas]. Hayes, 1600.
