In a departure from most scholarship to date, the contributors fold \u003ci\u003eDouble Falsehood\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eDouble Falsehood\u003c\/i\u003e as integral to a debate between Theobald, Alexander Pope, and John Gay over the future of the English drama.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-05-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319835334\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-46514-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 138\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47697653432460,"sku":"9783319835334","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319835334_6a66d200-957f-4a47-aa97-edbf40e5e5bd.jpg?v=1776778767","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319835334","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
