The encounter between a wandering hero and an African queen engenders love and loss, eroticism and absurdity, childish simplicity and compelling eloquence. Written for children to perform in the 1580s, Dido is nonetheless a remarkable play, revolutionary in its approach to character, blank verse, and audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume is the first single-text scholarly edition in English. It is an indispensable resource for scholars, students, and theatre practitioners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe edition features an accessible text, lightly punctuated for ease of reading and speaking.
