David and Bathsheba presents a modernised edition of George Peele's
explosive biblical drama about the tangled lives, deadly liaisons,
and twisted histories of Ancient Israel's royal family. Martin's
critical edition is the first modern single-volume edition of the
play since 1912 and opens up this unduly neglected gem of English
Renaissance drama to student and scholar alike. The introduction
examines such topics as the play's treatment of its biblical and
poetic sources, its engagement with Elizabethan politics, and its
forceful representations of religious fanaticism, genocide, and
sexual violence. Its commentary notes clarify the text's meaning
and staging, guide the reader through the play's dramatisation of
the turbulent Davidic period of Ancient Israel's history, and place
the play in its broader cultural and artistic milieu. Martin's
edition aims to encourage new contemporary critical study of
Peele's powerful and disturbing drama. -- .
