FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Dramatically compressing the reign of Edward II and enlivening the historical narrative with humour, romance, and horrific violence, Marlowe interrogates how the transgression of accepted codes of behaviour affects even those at the highest level of society.

Long Description The rise of queer theory in the last fifteen years or so has led to a large body of criticism on Edward II , on Marlowe more generally, and indeed on Renaissance literature. This new introduction to the play takes full account of that criticism, offering students a useful and lively overview of the field. While it is often remarked that the writing in Edward II is less Marlovian than his other major plays, no critic has yet fully discussed why this might be the case. The new introduction brings together these topics in order to demonstrate how our understanding of the play is enhanced by considering these aspects of the play together...In addition the introduction also includes a performance history, updating the history given in the previous edition and paying greater attention to Derek Jarmans film, with which the play is often studied. All this ensures the edition meets the needs of students and teachers fully and imaginatively.
