This collection of essays centres on Double Falsehood, Lewis
Theobald's 1727 adaptation of the "lost" play of Cardenio, possibly
co-authored by John Fletcher and William Shakespeare. In a
departure from most scholarship to date, the contributors fold
Double Falsehood back into the milieu for which it was created
rather than searching for traces of Shakespeare in the text. Robert
D. Hume's knowledge of theatre history permits a fresh take on the
forgery question as well as the Shakespeare authorship controversy.
Diana Solomon's understanding of eighteenth-century rape culture
and Jean I. Marsden's command of contemporary adaptation practices
both emphasise the play's immediate social and theatrical contexts.
And, finally, Deborah C. Payne's familiarity with the
eighteenth-century stage allows for a reconsideration of Double
Falsehood as integral to a debate between Theobald, Alexander Pope,
and John Gay over the future of the English drama.
