概要 Marlowe's play retains its power to shock even today, and this editiongives full value to its three overriding themes of sexual favouritism, political confrontation and sheer cruelty. Critics in the ...ast twentyyears, who have focused on the overtly sexual relationship betweenEdward and his favourite Gaveston, have hailed it as a 'gay classic';earlier interpretations concentrated rather on the deposition by hissubjects of a weak king, reading it in tandem with Shakespeare'sRichard II. The introduction shows how the play works to give theaudience an equal emotional commitment to opposing points of view andconcludes that this is what makes Edward II such an uncomfortable andchallenging play.
The introduction to this edition contains an analysis of the first quarto (including new evidence of its original dating) and a reconsideration of the play's complex relation to the Shakespearean histories that preceded and followed it. Charles R. Forker offers a discussion of Marlowe's use of sources, and presents a new argument for the drama's five-act structure. He delves into the conflicting and controversial opinions concerning the genre and sexual politics of the play, and also includes a full record of the stage history. Forker has collated some 46 editions (including the important, rare and usually ignored editions of Broughton and Oxberry in 1818). The appendices provide substantive variants from the Broughton and Oxberry texts as well as extracts from the sources.
