George Peele
George Peele (baptised 25 July 1556 – buried 9 November 1596) was an English translator, poet, and dramatist, who is most noted for his supposed but not universally accepted collaboration with William Shakespeare on the play ''Titus Andronicus''.
==Life==
Peele was christened on 25 July 1556 at St James Garlickhythe in the City of London. His father, who appears to have belonged to a Devonshire family, was clerk of Christ's Hospital, and wrote two treatises on bookkeeping.〔"(The Life of George Peele )"〕 Peele was educated at Christ's Hospital, and entered Broadgates Hall, Oxford, in 1571.〔 In 1574 he removed to Christ Church, taking his B.A. degree in 1577, and proceeding M.A. in 1579.〔 In that year, the governors of Christ's Hospital requested their clerk to "discharge his house of his son, George Peele."〔 He went up to London about 1580, but in 1583 when Albertus Alasco (Albert Laski), a Polish nobleman, was entertained at Christ Church, Peele was entrusted with the arrangement of two Latin plays by William Gager (fl. 1580-1619) presented on the occasion.
He was also complimented by Gager for an English verse translation of one of the ''Iphigenias'' of Euripides. In 1585 he was employed to write the ''Device of the Pageant borne before Woolston Dixie'', and in 1591 he devised the pageant in honour of another Lord Mayor, Sir William Webbe. This was the ''Descensus Astraeae'' (printed in the ''Harleian Miscellany'', 1808), in which Queen Elizabeth is honoured as ''Astraea''.
Peele had married as early as 1583 a woman who brought him some property, which he speedily dissipated.〔"(GEORGE PEELE: A biographical sketch )"〕 Robert Greene, at the end of his pamphlet ''Greene's Groats-Worth of Wit'', exhorts Peele to repentance, saying that he has, like himself, "been driven to extreme shifts for a living." Anecdotes of his reckless life were emphasized by the use of his name in connection with the apocryphal ''Merrie conceited Jests of George Peele'' (printed in 1607). Many of the stories had circulated before in other jestbooks, unattached to Peele's name, but there are personal touches that may be biographical. The book provided source material for the play ''The Puritan,'' one of the works of the Shakespeare Apocrypha.
