Robert Dodsley

Cleone is a five-act tragedy written by Robert Dodsley, drawing inspiration from the Legend of St. Genevieve, originally in French and translated into English by Sir William Lower. The play explores themes of jealousy and deceit, depicting how these emotions can turn friends against each other in the pursuit of wealth and love. First performed in the 18th century, it reflects the dramatic conventions of its time and showcases Dodsley's contribution to English theatre.
