The Mad Lover is a Jacobean era stage play, a tragicomedy by John Fletcher that was initially published in the first Beaumont and Fletcher folio of 1647.
Fletcher's sole authorship of the play was specified during the seventeenth century by his friend Sir Aston Cockayne; since Fletcher's distinctive pattern of stylistic and textual preferences is continuous through the text, his authorship is not questioned.
