"Beaumont and Fletcher's Works, Vol. 06 of 10" by Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher is a collection of dramatic works written in the early 17th century. This volume includes several plays, including "The Queen of Corinth," "Bonduca," and "The Knight of the Burning Pestle," showcasing the authors' signature blend of tragedy and comedy. The central plot of the opening play revolves around themes of love, honor, and the complexities of human relationships, particularly focusing on characters such as Agenor and Merione, along with a backdrop of political alliances in Corinth. At the start of the "The Queen of Corinth," characters Neanthes and Sosicles discuss the successful return of General Leonidas from battle and the favorable peace treaty he negotiated with Agenor, the Prince of Argos. The narrative quickly reveals underlying tensions as Prince Theanor, son of the Queen, is smitten with Merione, an esteemed lady caught in a complex web of rivalries and political machinations. The introduction of these characters sets the stage for a blend of dramatic intrigue, romantic entanglements, and the exploration of personal motives against the backdrop of societal expectations and familial duty.
