A tragic thread of love, honour, and moral conflict runs through John Dryden's All For Love; Or, The World Well Lost, a verse drama that still unsettles and inspires. A modern reader will feel the force of a love story set against political passion, where choices shape destinies and every line bears the weight of neoclassical restraint and fiery emotion.

A tragic thread of love, honour, and moral conflict runs through John Dryden's All For Love; Or, The World Well Lost, a verse drama that still unsettles and inspires. A modern reader will feel the force of a love story set against political passion, where choices shape destinies and every line bears the weight of neoclassical restraint and fiery emotion. This restoration tragedy, written in elegant couplets, offers a compact theatre of fate: a tragic love affair framed by high-stakes honour, a blend of private longing and public consequence. It invites casual readers to experience the tension of courtly life, while giving classroom drama study a rich, densely written text that rewards close reading. The play's Egypt ian setting drama and Restoration England setting illuminate contrasts between imperial power, personal loyalty, and the fragility of human virtue. Compare it with Shakespearean tragedy influences and Antony and Cleopatra, and you'll glimpse how Dryden reshapes recognised archetypes for a modern sensibility. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This edition is a theatre enthusiasts resource and a valuable addition to libraries and shelves, offering a vivid, human connection to restoration england, verse drama, and the enduring drama of love and duty.
