Man's eternal quest is to know the unknown, to see the unseen and discover the undiscovered things that's why the very spirit of the Elizabethan Era. They have the nostalgia to seek into the historical part and fetch the pearl of spirit and undaunted. Christopher Marlowe, the excellent Elizabethan playwrite squashes the juice of the historical background and unlock them in the full throated ease in the play Edward II .He just poured the new wine into old bottle and stimulates the dozing spectators into frenzied drunkards.
Marlowe is not the first Elizabethan to is write the historical play but Marlowe were deeply inspired by Shakespeare's Henry VI .So his Edward II is the direct outcome of the historical agenda present in episodes but it mansley surpassed Shakespeare in dealing with King Edward II, a King deposed and assassinated one with his weakness .It is a marble still in historical plays, it is modern in its approach. Edward, the king is not important but Edward, the man claims our sympathy, It gives Shakespeare the model for his Richard II (1595).

Marlowe's Edward II is a finest flowerings of the historical flowers-play .The historical flavours and spirited zeal are well conceived here. Marlowe invites the Elizabethans whom bubbled with the national pride and depicts the narrow bar from the very historical threshold but by the rosy wings of the poesy flight to the castle of keatian world of the imagination. Here, we see' the life of sensations rather than of thoughts!'. The historical background of Edward I reignigs England successively from 1272-1307 and banishment of his son's most dissolute friend Gascon, yet Malolowe does slavishing follows the Chronological orders of event . He adopts, abridges,transposes and juxtaposes them to create new sensations Gascon becomes piers Gaveston .The gap of about three years between the king's murders and the executions of Motimer has been completely eliminated.
Clumsy plot construction, characterized all historical plays, the playwright is interested only in episodes but Edward II has a plot, well unit and it is the direct outcome of Marlowe's realism that a plot has to be coherent , such scenes and it was beginning middle and the end.
Marlowe, write a tragedy but the tragedy is not he is. It is the part of history. The characters are not puppets tied to strings, not wooden, characters are vividly decorated rather than the historical figures. In actual life Edward was not so great, a voluptuous figure as he is presented in the play .Nor did he so ill treat the queen as presented in the Play.
Edward II of Marlowe shows several other historical degresions and inaccusations. Marlowe has exercised grate freedom in the treatment of Spencerians They were neither needy adventures nor were they low - born. To add some digressions, Mortimer's downfall in the play is too abrupt and sudden .He was accused of treasons and was executed in 1330.
But in spite of these drawbacks Edward II stand supreme as the historical Play. History has been well presented and dramatized to suitable as Chronicle or Historical play.
