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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deborah C.
