Pathomachia
''Pathomachia, or the Battle of Affections'', also known as ''Love's Lodestone'', is an early 17th-century play, first printed in 1630. It is an allegory that presents a range of problems to scholars of the drama of the Jacobean and Caroline eras.
==Date and publication==
The play was licensed for publication by Sir Henry Herbert, the Master of the Revels, on 16 April 1630 and was published later that year, in a quarto printed by the brothers Richard and Thomas Cotes for the bookseller Francis Constable. Constable dedicated the work to Henry Carey, 4th Baron Hunsdon and 1st Earl of Dover. In his dedication, Constable repeats the statement of the title page, that the author is deceased.〔David Moore Bergeron, ''Textual Patronage in English Drama, 1570–1640,'' London, Ashgate, 2006; p. 40.〕
The full title of the play in the 1630 quarto is ''Pathomachia or the Battle of Affections, Shadowed by a Feigned Siege of the City of Pathopolis''. The title page also states that the play was "Written some years since" by the late author and is now issued by one of his friends. The play's running title, which appears at the top of the pages of text, is ''Love's Lodestone''. A University play by that name was staged c. 1616; the implication is that the ''Pathomachia'' of 1630 is the same work as the ''Love's Lodestone'' of c. 1616.〔E. K. Chambers, ''The Elizabethan Stage'', 4 Volumes, Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1923; Vol. 3, p. 499.〕
The play also exists in two manuscript texts; one is part of ''MS. Harl. 6869 Art. 1'' in the collection of the British Library, and the other is ''MS. Eng. poet. e. 5'' in the collection in the Bodleian Library.〔Alfred Harbage, "Elizabethan and Seventeenth-Century Play Manuscripts," ''Papers of the Modern Language Association'' Vol. 50 No. 3 (September 1935), pp. 687–99; see p. 695.〕 ''Pathomachia'' shares the Harleian MS. with another allegorical play, titled ''The Fallacies, or the Troubles of Hermenia'', which is dated 1631 and ascribed to Richard Zouch. The Harleian MS. text of ''Pathomachia'' contains variant readings and some material absent from the printed text, but is missing its last seventeen or so lines.
