(214) A Funerall Elegye (1612): Why an ever-lasting debate about its author....

.A FUNERALL   ELEGY  (1)

..a never-beginning debate about its meaning?


The ->Shakespeare-Marlowe Authorship Thesis in a short formula states:  For reasons both of life saving and safety the most renowne - according to the law- deadly threatened London playwright Christopher Marlowe obeyed the crown to feign his death, to abandon his identity and name, living in anonymity, and take pen-names  [such as Shakespeare from the paid businessman William Shakspere from Stratford as one of his future poet and dramatist names,  yet using many additional pseudo-names from the very beginning ..

What is to be said against the assumption, that in The Funeral Elegy (1612)“ the true author [
alias W.S. William Shakespeare?] / John Ford (s.also->Blog 55) describes allegorically his own fate (concealing it behind a murther of Mr.William Peter, stabbed in the head some weeks before, corresponding to  the circulating death rumours of Marlowe...)

Please read the full unabridged text (5 pages.-Click below! Not unstrenuous!) of the Funeral Elegy  by W.S., (if the superficial rhyme structure of the text is removed, it looks now like a prose text- (emphasis yellow, bold text, texts in bracket not in the original!)

Do you see a way out of the compelling assumption, that the
 specifics of this  elegy do not mirror  totally unknown William Peter of Whipton but the fate of Christopher Marlowe ?

(perhaps the Video is better suited to clarify it ....
