sentences:  Oliphant thought that the play was written by Beaumont and Fletcher, revised by Field c. 1610-11, and revised again by Massinger c. 1613–14.None of these arguments has won acceptance from a consensus of scholars; the play's perceived low dramatic quality appears to stand as an argument against the presence of major talents.The forest scene of the play bears a general resemblance to the one in "Philaster;" faithful male friendship is one of the perennial (and easily imitated) dramatic themes of Fletcher.
