(438)The fatal collective academic denial or suppression of Christopher Marlowe as the potential "True Shakespeare"

No author of any essay in this book has not been committed to the Academic Stratford Dogma, indicating the infinite Wisdome (?) of Emily and Emma ..

Two english professors Emily C. Bartels, Rutgers University, New Jersey and  Emma Smith, University of Oxford (as editors) recently published a book with 34 essays on Marlowe's 

          I Works,      II      World and        III   Reception 

• Chronology of Marlowe's life and works .- Introduction
• Part I. Marlowe's Works: 1. Marlowe's canon  2. Marlowe's material texts  3. Marlowe and the limits of rhetoric  4. Marlowe and character  5. Marlowe's dramatic form  6. Marlowe's poetic form  7.

Marlowe and women  23. Marlowe and the New Science  24. The professional theatre and Marlowe
• Part III. Reception: 25. Marlowe in his moment  26. Marlowe and Shakespeare  27. Marlowe in Caroline theatre 28. Marlowe's literary influence  29. Marlowe at the movies  30. Editing Marlowe's texts  31. Marlowe's biography  32. Marlowe and the critics   33. Marlowe now.

The book highlights the importance and influence of Marlowe, the foremost dramatist of his day,  and his writings not only on the work of his contemporaries, including Shakespeare, but also on literary culture to the present.

The paradox of the book is that the editors in their introduction with a stroke of a pen wipe the ("ridiculous") rumors that have been attached to Marlowe such as he wrote the plays attributed to Shakespeare or that he did not die in Deptford 1593 etc.-

Given the fact that 2008-2015 numerous media events (books, documentaries, films) have been published,  dealing  with the Shakespeare authorship controversy and Marlowe it seems justified to ask why these aspects of Marlowe were neglected entirely by these fatal "Impressive Ladies".
 

Each essay - I predict- would have been perceived differently if the authors would not have been committed to the fatal academic Stratford Dogma... 

(...i.e. There is no such thing as  a 

SHAKESPEARE Authorship Issue)
