	George Peele (1558-1596)
		George Peele was born about 1558, and was educated at the grammar school of Christ's Hospital, of which his father James Peele, a maker of pageants, was clerk, and at Oxford, where he proceeded B.A. in 1577 and M.A. in 1579.
		Peele was soon writing for the companies of professional players, and had his share, with other University Wits, in transforming the crude popular drama of the London stage into literary drama.
		Peele probably followed some form of it closely, for the main incidents and most of the details of the Euminides plot appear in one version or another of a modern folk tale which is best known as one of the components of Jack the Giant Killer.

		George Peele (born 1558) graduated B.A. at Christ Church, Oxford, in 1577, and M.A. in 1579.
		When we consider that Peele’s activity covered sixteen or eighteen years (he was dead by 1598), at a time when dramatic composition was rapid, his dramatic work remaining to us seems not large in quantity.
		The last of these plays is attributed to Peele only because a quotation from it in England’s Parnassus (1600) is assigned to him and because of certain similarities of phrase; but the play is usually accepted as his.

	George Peele
		Of particular interest to readers of Shakespeare is his Old Wives' Tale, a play which explores the tradition of romantic comedy (like Clyomon and Clamydes, though more sophisticated) within the framework of a play-within- a-play, rather like the (incomplete) frame of The Taming of the Shrew.
		Peele also took advantage of the growing convention of mingling several plots in the one play, so that often the action of the main plot was parodied in the sub-plot.
		Romantic comedy like Peele's was influenced by the Italian Commedia dell'Arte.
