Apius and Virginia is a play written by Richard Bower in 1575, based on the ancient Roman story of Virginia. The play tells the story of a young girl named Virginia, who is the daughter of a nobleman named Virginius. Apius, a corrupt judge, becomes infatuated with Virginia and attempts to take her as his own. When Virginius learns of Apius' intentions, he takes matters into his own hands and kills his own daughter to protect her from being dishonored. This edition of the play was edited by Ronald B. McKerrow and published in 1911. It includes an introduction that provides historical context and analysis of the play's themes and language. The text is presented in its original Elizabethan English, with footnotes to aid in understanding the language and references.
