The anonymous author W.C. of "Polimanteia" belongs to faked identities of our hidden author and poet-genius!

In order to approach the Shakespeare Authorship problem we are dependent on the yet existing documents (written or printed, 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.

The crucial question is, using the example of "Polimanteia"(1595):
Why Shakespeare did not contribute to the wealth of literature genres in his own time?
Why Shakespeare experts never systematically investigated the contexts of "Polimanteia" as a base of a plausible
"Working hypothesis"
[Marlowe equals Shakespeare]
[Marlowe equals Shakespeare]
Thesis = Deadly threatened Marlowe 1593 had to fake his death, to give up his identity and name for safety resons, to live incognito, and to continously write under changing initials, pen names, pseudonyms incl.Shake-speare or other faked identities.
In »Polimanteia« 1595 (Transl. ="Many meanings"), an unonymous , i.e. unidentifiable W.C. informs us not only about the meaning of the title of his book (You should judge the [my] fall [lawfull and unlawfull?] of a Common-wealth) but also about many of his convictions such as his
"publishing" philosophy :
»… by the doubt of that name which those (...) letters might portend: for not knowing the trueth, he talketh by circumstances and darke signes, sometimes telling the trueth to gaine credit to his false lyes, seeing by a malicious instinct he striveth to obscure the trueth, to the great dammage of mortall men. For his delight is in falshood, and his ioy is in our fall.

The unidentifiable author W.C. (William Cowell? William Clarke?) seems to be informed about the poem "Lucrecia" and the sweetness of an "author" Shak-speare who had not published before under this name and
who set the poem in relation to an eloquent man "Gaveston", the very positive figure out of Marlowe's play "Edward II" (1594):
for whom are the initials W.C: ? Who was the author of "Polimanteia"?
Why the anonymous author could not have belonged to the pseudonyms and faked identities of our hidden author and poet-genius?
