The History of Cardenio : ウィキペディア英語版 | The History of Cardenio
''The History of Cardenio'', often referred to as merely ''Cardenio'', is a lost play, known to have been performed by the King's Men, a London theatre company, in 1613.〔Chambers, E. K. ''The Elizabethan Stage.'' 4 Volumes, Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1923. Vol 2, page 17.〕 The play is attributed to William Shakespeare and John Fletcher in a Stationers' Register entry of 1653. The content of the play is not known, but it was likely to have been based on an episode in Miguel de Cervantes' ''Don Quixote'' involving the character Cardenio, a young man who has been driven mad and lives in the Sierra Morena. Thomas Shelton's translation of the First Part of ''Don Quixote'' was published in 1612, and would thus have been available to the presumed authors of the play. Two existing plays have been put forward as being related to the lost play. Also, a song, "Woods, Rocks and Mountains", set to music by Robert Johnson, has been linked to it.〔Richard Wilson, ''Secret Shakespeare: studies in theatre, religion and resistance'', Manchester University Press 2004 ((p.233 ) on Google books). This source refers to Michael Wood's claims regarding Shakespeare's authorship of "Woods, rocks, and mountains".〕〔() "Woods Rocks and Mountains" performed on Youtube〕 ==Attribution== Although there are records of the play having been performed, there is no information about its authorship earlier than a 1653 entry in the Stationers' Register. The entry was made by Humphrey Moseley, a bookseller and publisher, who was thereby asserting his right to publish the work. Moseley is not necessarily to be trusted on the question of authorship, as he is known to have falsely used Shakespeare's name in other such entries. It may be that he was using Shakespeare's name to increase interest in the play. However, some modern scholarship accepts Moseley's attribution, placing the lost work in the same category of collaboration between Fletcher and Shakespeare as ''The Two Noble Kinsmen''.〔A. Luis Pujante, "''Double Falsehood'' and the Verbal Parallels with Shelton's ''Don Quixote''," ''Shakespeare Survey'', Vol. 51 (1998), pp. 95–106.〕 Fletcher based several of his later plays on works by Cervantes, so his involvement is plausible.
