    This work investigates the reception of Antony and Cleopatra in the 18th century. The critical response to the play is presented in four separate chapters: prefaces, illustration, critical observation and stage performance in the period. An overview of Drydens All for Love is thus introduced in order to demonstrate the form in which the 17th century period was familiar with. Prefaces from Rowes edition (1709) to Johnsons (1765) are investigated in Chapter 1 while the periods interest in illustrating the text is examined in the following chapter. One of the illustrated texts examined is Steevens 1793 grangerized version. Chapter 3 then examined 18th-century critics reviews of the play which include Uptons Critical Observations (1746) and Capells Notes (1774). Chapter 4 studied the only recorded attempt to stage the play, Garricks adaptation in 1759. What emerges is that the fascination with Antony and Cleopatra which is manifested in its textual and illustrative representation, its critical reviews and brief lifespan onstage is confirmed only in the mid to late eighteenth century.
