All for Love; Or, the World Well Lost is a tragedy by John Dryden, first published in 1677. This play reinterprets the story of Mark Antony and Cleopatra, focusing on the conflict between Antony's love for Cleopatra and his political obligations. Dryden's adaptation features a neo-classical structure and explores themes of loyalty, despair, and the tragic consequences of desire. The play is notable for its unique perspective on the classic tale, including a dedication to the Earl of Danby and a preface defending Dryden's artistic choices against contemporary criticism.
