had it been .... he would not have
Peter Farey can be seen as one of the world leading experts on Marlowe's life and history. His Homepage on Marlowe is the most comprehensive compilation of all the facts gathered around Marlowe's life and death..
Yet the core title of his informative Website tells us ultimately, that Marlowe was not Shakespeare. : He would have equalled him , if he had not have a sudden and fearful end of his life.
How dit it come about that Peter Farey does not trust his own insights? Was he too discouraged, to cautious, too biased , too fainthearted, too ....?
Or did he try to hide something behind the strange (subjunctive) lines ?
