Description: As Marlowe's only play for boy actors, Dido, Queen of Carthage has always been something of an orphan child. In 1995 Douglas Cole could describe it as "relatively unnoticed," but that label would be less appropriate now. The past twenty years or so, since that date especially, have seen articles, chapters, and substantial mentions increase in number until they total more than in the preceding century. Dido merits more attention because it raises distinctive issues for scholarship and commentary even as it offers a different vantage point on Marlowe's other writings. This chapter will discuss where we are with Dido under five headings: the 1594 title page; talking about sources; the shift in critical attention from love and duty to gender and politics; matters concerning performance; and future possibilities.
