The knowledge of textual contents of contemporary literature, letters, handwritings, official or state documents and libraries, travel documents etc. etc. in Europe at Shakespeare's days holds the key to resolving the authorship problem!
_________________________
The following alphabetical namelist of Writers (between 1580 and 1635) offers you
In order to approach the Shakespeare Authorship
problem we are dependent on the yet existing documents (written or printed)
whereever they are (contemporary literature, letters, handwritings, official or
state documents in various European countries and libraries, travel documents
etc).
No doubt: a full knowledge of the incredible vast amount of textual
contents of contemporary literature in England at Shakespere's days ( ->digitally
available today) holds the key
to resolving the authorship problem!
1.) at first not only a glimpse of the wealth of contemporous Authors , Writers and Literates in Shakesperean England but
2.) secondly also a list of an unprecedented richness of contemporous types of Book Genres in Shakespearean times,
As a crucial example one may ask why Shakespeare experts never systematically investigated the contexts of book Genres such as "Willobie
his Avisa" (594), Polimanteia etc at least as starting (hypo)thesis for the Shakespeare Authorship controversy
Why Shakespeare didn't contribute to the wealth of book genres in his own time?
"Working hypothesis" : Marlowe equals
Shakespeare
Thesis = Deadly threatened Marlowe 1593 had to fake his
death, give up his identity and his name for safety resons, to live
incognito and write continously under changing initials, pen names, pseudonyms
or feigned identities (incl-Shake-speare) .
The title"(1). of the book "Willobie
his Avisa" 1594 (of an unidentifiable author H.D. Hadrian Dorell),
prompts us to read at first
"the preface to the Reader.

The preface (2) informs us that from the 44th canto to the end of the booke the author identifies ("names") himself.

From Canto 44 (3) we learn that pseudo-author H.W. (Henrico Willebago?) was suddenly infected with the contagion of a fantastical fit. The "fantasical fit" consisted in the transmission (exposition?) of the secresy of his disease [his name] from W.S., William Shakspere ("... now newly recovered of the like infection.
Our poet tried to reveal metaphorically in his Situation in
1594 . Why - on earth - the initials of W.C. could not have belonged to our
hidden author? What could it mean otherwise?
Willoby his Avisa(1594) is literature's first extant
independent mentioning of the name William Shakespeare (5) hyphenated from the
very beginning), republished six times between 1594 and 1635.
