Changed line(s) 5 (click to see context) from:
** An 18th-century play called ''Double Falsehood'' is thought to be a rewrite of ''Cardenio'' (it has the same plot as the Cardenio episode in ''Literature/DonQuixote'' only with the names changed) and was included in the Arden Shakespeare series in 2010. Arden credited the work to Shakespeare, John Fletcher (who appears to have collaborated with Shakespeare on the play or rewrote the play from Shakespeare's original script), and eighteenth-century dramatist and editor Lewis Theobald. Theobald claimed to have adapted the text from a Restoration-era manuscript which was at least based on the Shakespeare/Fletcher original (Restoration productions of Shakespeare were heavily adapted for contemporary tastes and theatrical practices) but which was later destroyed in a fire. Understandably, people at the time doubted this, and that was largely that until the 2010s, by which time computer-based lexical analysis and interest in Shakespeare's collaborative work led scholars to revisit Theobald's claims and determine that he may have been telling the truth. While the surviving text of ''The Double Falsehood'' is probably an adaptation of an adaptation, it may well have its origins in Shakespeare.
