David Bevington's volume on George Peele looks at the literary
achievement of that dramatist and author, who was born in London
some time around 1556-8, was educated at Oxford, and returned to
London to become a prolific writer until his death in 1596. He died
at the age of forty, in poverty, and was never far from the threat
of debtors' prison throughout his adult life. Peele, like Greene
and Marlowe, was caricatured in his immediate afterlife as the
embodiment of a popular and thriving literary culture in London of
the late sixteenth century: a world that was competitive and
relentlessly unforgiving in its economic pressures, but also
colourful, adventuresome, and vital. This volume collects together
for the first time the best contemporary published work on Peele by
a group of renowned scholars. They discuss Peele's Lord Mayor's
Pageants, Court Entertainments, occasional poems, and his plays The
Arraignment of Paris, The Old Wives Tale, The Battle of Alcazar,
Edward I, David and Bathsheba, and Titus Andronicus. The essays are
accompanied by David Bevington's substantial introduction which
discusses Peele's life and works, particularly in the context of
the other five University Wits.
