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.

As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)
