Overview
Moves away from traditional readings of the play, which have nearly all been in the context of its contested 'lost play' status, and reads it in the context of the eighteenth century
By emphasizing the immediate context, it demonstrates how the play engaged contemporary literary and theatrical issues, such as rape culture and audience response
Examines how formal patterns, such as the tragicomic plot, speak to eighteenth-century culture

About this book
Reviews
“This uniformly excellent collection does what none of the other recent scholarship on Double Falsehood or Cardenio does: it approaches the complex problems of authorship, performance, form and gender politics from the perspective of Restoration and eighteenth-century theatre. Anyone seriously interested in the Jacobean play, its Georgian adaptation, or in English drama from 1660 to 1740 should read this book.” (Gary Taylor, General Editor, “The New Oxford Shakespeare”)
