''Doctor Faust'' became the subject of folk legend in the decades after his death, transmitted in chapbooks beginning in the 1580s, and was notably adapted by Christopher Marlowe as a tragic hero in his play ''The Tragical History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus'' (1588-1592). The ''Faustbuch'' tradition survived throughout the early modern period, and the legend was again adapted in Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's closet drama ''Faust'' (1808), Hector Berlioz's musical composition ''La damnation de Faust'' (premiered 1846), and Franz Liszt's ''Faust Symphony'' of 1857.
