This article examines Christopher Marlowe’s iconoclasm as a dramatist by probing transgressive features in his Tamburlaine the Great, parts I and II. By depicting instances of excessive violence, from the perspective of this study, Marlowe flouts everything his society cherishes. His Tamburlaine demystifies religious doctrines and cultural relations; it challenges the official view of the universe and customary theatrical conventions of Renaissance drama. It destabilizes the norms and values of the Elizabethans and brings about a crisis between the Elizabethan audience and their own culture. Furthermore, Marlowe’s experimentalism in Tamburlaine expands the imaginative representations to include areas never formerly visited, consequently creating an alternative reality for his audience and transforming the popular English theatre in an unprecedented manner. Keywords: Drama, Christopher Marlowe, Elizabethan theatre, Literature, Iconoclasm

Le but de recherches consiste en étude des particularités de tragédies sur Amir Timour crées et mises en scène en Europe occidentale aux XVIXX siècles, de leur sources, la vérité historique et la fiction artistique. Ce sont "Tamburlaine the Great" de Christopher Marlowe, "Tamerlan ou la Mort de Bajazet" de Jacques Pradon, "Tamerlan, a Tragedy" de Nicolas Rowe, "Tamerlan" de Lucien Kehren et autres. La nouvauté scientifique de recherche est en fait que les originaux des différentes tragédies sur Tamerlan créees dans les littératures de l’Europe de l’Ouest durant les XVI-XX siècles, sont analysés du point de vue philologique, leur particularités et généralités sont déterminés pour la première fois. Les résultats obtenus: La vie de mythe est plus dure que l’approche historique: si en Europe tout le monde a entendu le nom de Tamerlan peu connaissent son oeuvre et encore moins savent que son vrai nom est Amir Timur, nos recherches permettent donc de progresser dans la connaissance d’un personnage historique qui aura marqué l’Occident comme l’Orient. Conclusion: Il aura falut attendre les festivités du 660e anniversaire d’Amir Timour pour permettre aux spectateurs d’Ouzbékistan la découverte de ces belles oeuvres, mise en scène par les troupes des Théâtre National d’Opéra et de Ballet de Tachkent et Théâtre dramatique de Samarkand.
