Abstract

The article is dedicated to the problem of the determination of historical validity degree of Amir Temur’s image in Christopher Marlowe’s drama "Tamburlaine the Great". Basing on variety of sources, the author comes to conclusion that when writing the drama "Tamburlaine the Great" Marlowe did not address to the historical sources deserving confidences and in the result the drama as a whole does not correspond to historical truth in sufficient degree.
