In 1594, the epic poem "Lucrece" was printed
with the name of the dedicating author William Shakespeare .
There is evidence (in Draytons Poeem " Matilda" 1594, line 36-42 ) that a tragedy of "The Rape of Lucrece" by Thomas Heywood was acted on the London stage.
A Print of this play does exist from 1608
A Print of this play does exist from 1608
Are we really to believe that Lucrece, appeared in the same year 1594 as a narrative Poem by William Shakespeare , as a stage Play (tragedy) by Thomas Heywood, and as a Poem by Michael Drayton?
Isn't it more plausible and likely in 1594 (the first year after Marlowe's Life catastrophy) that the author / inventor of the poetic metaphor of the crime of Tarquin versus Lucrece was always the same who published his (auto) biographic parable as different literary Genres. (Poem 1594 Shakespeare, Play 1608 Heywood) Why there isn't a more consistent explanation for these strange observations by Shakespeare experts? _________________________
