“Christopher Marlowe’s drama Edward II stands as one of the first plays to stage English history, and it has long been seen as a master work on conflicts between the personal and the political. In its day, the play was popular in London’s theatres and bookshops, and it continues to inspire actors, directors and audiences. Bolstered with a timeline tracking Marlowe’s life and work, an up-to-date bibliography and an extensive index, this collection is an ideal and definitive guide to Edward II.”–Page [4] of cover.
