(376) Shakespeare's authorship and the Marlowe case.

...if Marlowe is the "true Shakespeare" 

why shouldn't we also be dependent on reading Marlowe's life out of the plays of the "one, and only one" writer ? [alias Shakespeare]. 

    

On the occasion of the release of James Shapiro's  book "Contested Will" in 2010,  Daryl Pinksen,  the author of the Book "Marlowe's Ghost" wrote  an Essay entitled   ---> "Shapiros Straw man" in which he concluded, that Shapiro casually tars all Shakespeare doubters with the same brush, implying that the" Marlowe" case, like the "Oxford" and "Bacon" ones, is dependent on reading Marlowe's life out of the Plays.

Daryl Pinksen  declared Shapiros method and opinion "as simply false" because Marlowe's case would be different!


Pinksen's logic is not easy to understand especially since he is certain at the end,  that ...." there is one, and only one writer with the proven ability to write verse at a Shakespearean Level and that this writer is Christopher Marlowe."


Of course, as Pinksen underlines, comparisons of Marlowe's Texts to the Shakespere Plays and Poems are of utmost importance. (s. Pinksens video!)   But if Marlowe is the true Shakespeare   why  shouldn't we also be dependent on reading Marlowe's life out of the  plays  of the one, and only one writer [alias Shakespeare].

Why should  specific  biographic aspects of life do not even  fit much better compared to Oxford or Bacon,?

That's exactly what has been elaborated in Chapt.8-10 of the book "

Summary of the book
The only True Shakespeare: Christopher Marlowe."
