All for Love (play)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

All for Love is a heroic drama by John Dryden written in 1678. Today, it is Dryden’s best-known and most performed play[citation needed]. It is a tragedy written in blank verse and is an attempt on Dryden's part to reinvigorate serious drama[citation needed]. It is an acknowledged imitation of Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra, and focuses on the last hours of the lives of its hero and heroine.

Combining the unities of classical theatre and the style of Shakespearean drama, Dryden creates an elaborately formal production in which fashionable philosophies of the time could be discussed and debated in a public atmosphere.[citation needed] Dryden used the theatre as a forum for testing problematic philosophical, moral and political questions.[citation needed] The results of these investigations were to form the basis of his later works.[citation needed]
