dbo:abstract
  • The Battle of Alcazar is a play attributed to George Peele, perhaps written no later than late 1591 if the play "Muly Molucco" mentioned in Henslowe's diary is this play (see below), and published anonymously in 1594, that tells the story of the battle of Alcácer Quibir in 1578. Likely allusions to the Spanish Armada in the play appear to limit its earliest possible date. The primary historical source for the play, John Polemom's The Second Part of the Book of Battles, Fought in Our Age, was published in 1587. The play may also have been an attempt to capitalise on popular interest in the Drake-Norris Expedition, the so-called English Armada, of 1589, in which Peele was interested (see below). (en)
  • The Battle of Alcazar (ou "A batalha de Alcácer") é uma peça teatral inglesa atribuída a George Peele, talvez tenha sido escrita antes do fim de 1591. A peça foi publicada anonimamente em 1594, contando uma versão da história da Batalha de Alcácer Quibir, ocorrida em 1578, com ênfase no aventureiro inglês Thomas Stukeley, para além de D. Sebastião. Alusões à Armada espanhola nesta peça parecem limitar a sua data inicial. A peça também pode ter sido uma tentativa de capitalizar o interesse popular na expedição de Drake-Norris, a chamada Contra-Armada Inglesa de 1589, em que George Peele estava interessado. (pt)
