description: 13th century history viewed from 16th century drama written by a contemporary of Shakespeare: Prince Lluellen is engaged in mortal combat while pressing the sovereignty of Wales from his Snowdonian bastion. "Peele's EDWARD I presents to us a king, determined to unite the people of his kingdom, who opposes the ethnic and regional partisanship of Wales and Scotland. Peele presents an elemental case of a leader who feels deep emotions of duty and ambition, generosity and anger, gratitude and grief, while struggling against adverse forces along the classic lines of heroic drama." This edition is the retroform which unriddles the text, with modern spelling and punctuation and an introduction for readers who are not familiar with the play.
