Deptford'daki Ölü Adam

Burgess's portrayal of Marlowe feels layered and morally ambiguous. I'm curious whether this was based on historical debates or creative interpretation.

The rich historical context made the setting vivid, but at times I wondered if it overshadowed the character development. What was others' experience with this balance?

The intense focus on a brief period creates a gripping narrative, but I wonder what led Burgess to narrow in on this specific timeframe.
