The summit of Dryden's dramatic art, \u003ci\u003eAll for Love\u003c\/i\u003e (1677) is a spectacle of passion as felt, feared, and disputed in the suspicious years following the English Civil War.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDue to its dramatic compression and elegance, \u003ci\u003eAll for Love\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the most enduring plays of the Restoration repertory. It was so successful that in the eighteenth century Dryden's tragedy drove Shakespeare's \u003ci\u003eAntony and Cleopatra\u003c\/i\u003e from the stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe play depicts the catastrophic passion of Cleopatra and Marc Antony, who could not be conquered but by love. Fidelity to family and friends, adherence to codes of honor, national loyalties, and the rule of law compete with each other, tearing the world with violence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46894439334039,"sku":"9780803253797","price":2595.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780803253797.webp?v=1770324339","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/all-for-love-9780803253797","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
