George Peele Books
George Peele was a poet, playwright, and translator noted for his Master of Arts degree from Oxford University. His interests lay strongly in the pastoral and romantic, and his allusions to classical mythology are earthy, treating the gods as people rather than personifications. Despite facing significant debt, likely due to poor business investments rather than accusations of wanton behavior, Peele left a distinct mark on English literature.
