The Mistaken Husband
''The Mistaken Husband'' is a Restoration comedy in the canon of John Dryden's dramatic works, where it has constituted a long-standing authorship problem.
==Performance and publication==
The play was first produced on stage by the King's Company at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in 1674, and was first published in a 1675 quarto issued by the booksellers James Magnes and Richard Bentley. The publishers credited the play's authorship to an anonymous "Person of Quality." In a Preface to the play, Bentley wrote that Dryden had had the anonymous play in his possession for many years; and "finding a Scene wanting he supply'd it" before turning it over to the actors of the King's Company.〔''The Works of John Dryden'', edited by Sir Walter Scott and George Saintsbury; Edinburgh, William Paterson, 1884; Vol. 8, p. 578.〕 Bentley's statement may not be literally precise, and may mean that Dryden gave the anonymous original a light revision of some extent.
Dryden, however, responded negatively to this publication. In a note included in the first edition of his ''King Arthur'' (1691), Dryden complained about having been "imposed on by the booksellers foisting in a play which is not mine," and added a list of the plays and poems he'd written and published to that date.
