""Tamburlaine the Great V1"" is a play written by Christopher Marlowe, first published in 1590. It tells the story of Tamburlaine, a shepherd who rises to become a powerful conqueror, taking over vast territories and defeating his enemies. The play is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on Tamburlaine's rise to power and the second part on his downfall. The play is known for its grandiose language, its portrayal of violence and cruelty, and its exploration of themes such as power, ambition, and the nature of leadership.
