Double Falsehood is a play that was first published in 1728 and is attributed to the famous playwright William Shakespeare. The plot revolves around two young lovers, Julio and Leonora, who are separated by their fathers' feud. Julio's father, Roderick, falsely accuses Leonora's father, Henriquez, of theft, leading to his imprisonment. Meanwhile, Julio is sent away to study in another city. Years later, Julio returns to find that Leonora has been promised to another man, the wealthy Duke Angelo. However, Leonora still loves Julio and the two begin a secret affair. When Roderick discovers their relationship, he becomes enraged and tries to kill Julio. In the end, the truth about Henriquez's innocence is revealed, and Julio and Leonora are able to marry.The play is notable for its controversial authorship. It was originally believed to be a lost work by Shakespeare, but later scholars have suggested that it was actually written by Lewis Theobald, a contemporary playwright who claimed to have adapted an original Shakespearean script. Despite the controversy, Double Falsehood remains an interesting and entertaining play that explores themes of love, betrayal, and redemption.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
