(10) Stephen Greenblatts fatal gaps on Shakespeare

Greenblatt incapable to reflect 

on a Marlowe / Shakespeare authorship problem!

Harvard professor Stephen Greenblatt gave an interview with the "Süddeutsche Zeitung" about Shakespeare,  June 22,  2006.

His key findings on the Poet  got its own 3 Subtitles :

1"To deprive himself of any inspection, was the strategy in Shakespeare's life."

2 " There was a painful gap between what Shakespeare wrote, and what he has lived."

3 "Shakespeare was absolutely determined ,  not going to jail."

All findings of Greenblatt  would get an immediate sense if he had included  the Marlowe-Shakespeare  theory  which states  that Marlowe would have  come  to death unless his patron (William Cecil) would not have had the power to make him disappear from the focus of the public.

Greenblatt's intuitive knowledge that Shakespeare tryed a lifetime to escape any control of his "being known" fits like a key to the lock. Marlowe achieved his hiding  by a  frequent change of the author's name or initials (including Shakespeare) which  could not be assigned to one person. 

The extent of personal and literary ' Identity change", is beyond human imagination.
