Il Dottor Faust (English: The Doctor Faustus) is a tragedy written in 2018[1] by the Italian poet Menotti Lerro. It is based on the mythical, German figure of Faust.

Critical reception[edit]

The book has been analyzed by Francesco D'Episcopo from Federico II University in the volume Menotti Lerro, Tra Drammaturgia e Narrativa (Genesi: 2019) and has been presented at the Museum of Archeology of Salerno in 2018[2][3] and in Vallo della Lucania in 2019.[4] According to D'Episcopo among innovations made from Lerro in terms of plot and new figures, it is important to stress the revolution to have, with this drama, a first version of an androgynous Mephistopheles.[5][6][7]
