Description

Edward II Revised brings a fresh perspective to the tumultuous reign of the English king, exploring the consequences of transgressing societal norms. With a blend of humour, romance, and graphic violence, Christopher Marlowe's play challenges the conventions of his time.

Originally suppressed from the stage for over three centuries due to its depiction of explicit relationships, this student edition offers a lively and updated introduction to the play, including a new background on the author and themes, as well as a fully annotated version of the playtext.

Featuring a new performance history that highlights Derek Jarman's film adaptation, this edition provides a useful and engaging overview of recent criticism, making it an ideal resource for students and scholars alike.
