Excerpt from The Works of George Peele
"The Love of King David and Fair Bethsabe. With the Tragedie of Absolon. As it hath ben diuers times plaied on the stage. Written by George Peele, London. Printed by Adam Islip. 1599." 4to.
This play was reprinted by Hawkins in the second volume of his Origin of the English Drama, 1773; and, excepting one or two errors of the press, (such as "pillar" instead of "pillow," "use" instead of "ice," &c.)the text was accurately given. Octavius Gilchrist (Letter to Gifford on Ford's Works, p.11.) talks rather too contemptuously of Hawkins.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of two verse plays by the Elizabethan playwright, George Peele. Both plays are based on biblical stories from the Old Testament. The first play, "David and Bethsabe," tells the story of King David's affair with Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah the Hittite. The play explores the themes of sin, repentance, and forgiveness. The second play, "The Love of King David and Fair Bethsabe," tells the story of King David's son, Absalom, who rebelled against his father. The play explores the themes of ambition, betrayal, and the consequences of sin. Both plays are written in a highly stylized and poetic language, and they offer a fascinating glimpse into the religious and moral values of the Elizabethan era.
