His works contained music that was in harmony with Milton’s works. His blank verse was metrically precise, regular, and contained imagery not introduced in English poetry at that time. He also introduced genuine blank verse and tragedy in literature and paved the way for Shakespeare to follow.Critics considered Marlowe to be the father of English tragedy and blank verse. It is said that his works contained the true spirit of Elizabethan era. His most popular poems are “Hero and Leander,” “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love,” and “Elegies.” Come Live With MeSummary: A fascinating study by Jessica Sparks of Marlowe’s poem The Passionate Shepherd to His Love, with sections on manuscripts and printing, Marlowe, the poem, its printing as a broadside ballad, the tune, and references & responses to the poem.
