Abstract
A dramatist and poet who wrote in a range of genres, George Peele (1556–96) is often grouped with the contemporary ‘university wits’, including Robert Greene, Thomas Kyd, Christopher Marlowe, John Lyly, Thomas Lodge, and Thomas Nashe, who were educated at either Oxford or Cambridge and went on to write for the Elizabethan stage. Today Peele is remembered chiefly for three of his plays: the courtly entertainment The arraignment of Paris , the exotic revenge tragedy The battle of Alcazar , and the romance comedy The old wives tale .
