Overview
The first full critical edition of Marlowe's highly controversial Edward II for twenty-five years, Richard Rowland's scholarly edition presents an old-spelling text which adheres more closely to the first quarto than any prior edition. A full commentary and introduction contextualize the play and give an entirely original account of the relationship between the play, Marlowe's own age, and events which immediately followed it.
