| General note | The possibility of Fletcher as the author is mentioned in the "Preface of the editor" (p. [9-11]) More likely an old play of uncertain authorship recast by Theobald, but by some regarded as entirely his. cf. Cambridge bibliography of English literature. Also attributed to Shirley and others. For discussion of its authorship and connection with the lost "History of Cardenio" ascribed to Shakespeare and Fletcher, cf. Bradford, in Modern language notes, vol. 25 (1910) p. 51-56, and Lounsbury's First editors of Shakespeare, p. 146-152. |
