Book excerpt: "Edward II" is one of the earliest English history plays. It focuses on the relationship between King Edward II of England and Piers Gaveston and Edward's murder on the orders of Roger Mortimer. Marlowe portrays the king's downfall as a result of his love for his dearests, Gaveston and Spencer, his negligence of his queen and earls, and the rise of Queen Isabella and her lover Mortimer. The play explores the tragic tensions between sexual passion and marriage, royal duty and self-fulfillment, and noble privilege and ambition.

Book excerpt: Christopher Marlowe's Edward II is typically applauded as an aesthetic achievement, a history play that brings form and meaning to the incoherent material of its chronicle source by retelling the king's slightly dull, twenty-year reign as the fierce and deadly struggle of a few willful personalities. Within the development of Elizabethan drama, Edward II is granted a crucial role in bringing to the English "chronicle play"--including Shakespeare's Henry VI plays and Richard III--the unity and purpose of the mature "history" play.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward II is one of the earliest English history plays. The narrative begins late in Edward’s reign, when his court is concerned and disgusted by his almost inexplicably close relationship with the nobleman Gaveston. Gaveston has just returned from exile, much to the chagrin of Edward’s court. He wasn’t born a noble, but holds immense wealth and titles bestowed upon him by Edward, as well as his almost complete attention; and when Edward begins scorning his own wife in favor of Gaveston’s company, the rest of the nobles immediately demand his expulsion from England. Edward must reluctantly oblige—but by then it’s too late, for the wheels of conspiracy are already in motion. Marlowe depicts Edward and Gaveston’s relationship as a clearly homosexual one, and the themes and events of the play revolve around their relationship’s taboo nature. But the play also focuses on social status: the nobles appear to be just as offended that Gaveston, a commoner, is gifted the benefits of nobility by Edward, as they are by the couple’s homoerotic relationship. The play is based on material found in Holinshed’s Chronicles, the same book of history that Shakespeare used as a source for many of his own history plays. Marlowe stayed fairly true to history, despite some embellishments; consequently the play was of interest and performed with regularity well into the seventeenth century, with frequent revivals since. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.

Of particular distinction are the introductory sections which include a thorough account of Marlowe's biography, a fresh critical examination of the play, plus a bibliography for further reading; a wise consideration of the date and text; and extensive annotations, especially helpful to students who have difficulties with the language. Of special value to both students and scholars are the Related Texts that follow the text of the play: three sections of documentary evidence on historical sources; power and politics; and love, friendship, and homoeroticism--all vital to an understanding of the play. No previous edition of the play manages to encompass so much." --Robert A. Logan, University of Hartford

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Edward II becomes king, he uses his new authority to pardon his favorite nobleman, Piers Gaveston, from his exile, angering key supporters. Soon after he inherits the throne, King Edward II of England writes a letter to his favorite nobleman, Piers Gaveston, who had previously been exiled, asking him to come back to England. Eager to return and happy to have the king’s favor, Gaveston travels to the kingdom immediately. However, when the other noblemen and advisors hear of Edward’s decision, they quickly try to talk him out of it. Believing that Gaveston is a manipulative social climber, the noblemen warn Edward that he should reconsider his pardon. However, Edward loves Gaveston deeply, and refuses to revoke his pardon. He appoints Gaveston the power to issue commands and draw money from the treasury, happy to be reunited with the man. Meanwhile, the angered noblemen start to gather a group of resistance. Concerned about the power Edward has given Gaveston, they continue their attempts to disillusion him, convincing others close to Edward to talk him into turning against the man. As some of Edward’s closest friends and family, take a side against him, the distrust the nobles hold for Gaveston begins to bleed into contempt for the king. With schemes of manipulation, invasion, and abdication plague the kingdom, Edward must reconsider his love for Gaveston before it causes his downfall. First debuted in 1592, Edward the Second is among the legendary playwright’s final works. Considered to be Marlowe’s masterpiece, Edward the Second is praised for its unique topic, disciplined rhetoric, and homoeotic undertones. Having been adapted for film and radio, as well as inspiring theatre revivals, Edward the Second is one of Marlowe’s most popular and celebrated works. With exemplary writing and a high-stakes plot, Edward the Second provides an intriguing perspective on the rule of Edward II that remains fascinating to modern audience. This edition of Edward the Second by Christopher Marlowe is now presented in an easy-to-read font and features a striking new cover decision, creating an accessible reading experience. With these accommodations, Edward the Second is restored to modern standards while the original genius and vivid imagery of Marlowe’s poetry is preserved.

Book excerpt: 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. Kept off the stage for almost three hundred years because of its dramatization of explicit homosexual relationships, it has become increasingly popular with modern day readers and performed on stage and film to great acclaim. This student edition contains a completely new introduction by Stephen Guy-Bray, and offers students a useful and lively overview of recent criticism, an updated performance history paying greater attention to Derek Jarman's film, a background on the author and themes, as well as an updated bibliography and a fully annotated version of the playtext.
