Sobre IBD

Edward II is a play written by Christopher Marlowe, first performed in 1593. The play is a historical drama that depicts the reign and downfall of King Edward II of England, who is portrayed as a weak and ineffective ruler. The play explores themes of power, sexuality, and betrayal as Edward’s relationship with his favorite, Piers Gaveston, causes political turmoil and rebellion among his subjects. As Edward’s grip on the throne weakens, his enemies close in, leading to his eventual imprisonment, deposition, and murder. Marlowe’s play is known for its complex characters, vivid language, and exploration of controversial themes. It is considered one of the most important works of Elizabethan drama and a significant contribution to the canon of English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
