**Quick note: I got my Catholic power struggles a little muddled talking about popes and anti-popes and the reformation, so don't cite me in your history papers, lol. Suffice it to say that there was a lot going on!**
Faustian bargains! Heresy! Suppressed queerness in Elizabethan England! Marlowe and his timeless tragedy, Doctor Faustus, have it all! Join us this week as we dive in and get to the root of whether it's actually worth selling your soul for wealth and fame. As if we're not all kind of doing that already.
