Christopher Marlowe was a contemporary of Shakespeare who championed a more literary approach to drama. He is best known for his use of blank verse and complex characters, particularly in plays like "Doctor Faustus" and "Tamburlaine." Marlowe's emphasis on poetic language and psychological depth influenced Shakespeare's own writing style, pushing the boundaries of English drama during the Elizabethan era.
