(463) The Authorship Controversy: In 1640 the "true" Shakespeare (alias concealed Marlowe) was still alive !

Marlowe did not die on May 30th 1593!

 The Non-acceptance of the "Marlowe-Shakespeare Conspiracy" led to a fatal interpretation failure  of literary sources in the aftermath of "William of Stratford".-






















Wits Recreations 1640

Epitaph 55 in "Witts Recreations"
(1640 Anonymous Author)
1640, about 15 years after the appearance of the First Folio an anonymous author in "Witts Recreations"  wrote an Epitaph 55 about an "Inne-keeper." [s. Faksimiles,  Note the hyphenation ! SOED innkeeper, 1548: one who keeps an inn or puplic house; a taverner]

Therein the author allegorically explains the "strange" situation of his death It was not him who really died, [it is not I that dye]he but left the inne [at Deptford 1593, alive], where the plot [conspiracy] with his ostensible death occured [where harbour'd was with me all filthy kind of sin!"). In truth he had not died [it is not  I that dye],  but he "newly" had to restart, . ("I doe but now begin"). For  us there would be no reason to "weep" or "lament" ("Why weepe you then my friends"): He didn't loose [his life]  but he did win it..-


In 1640 the by far most plausible interpretation of this "bizarre" epitaph 55 is that  the author of "Wits Recreations", the "true Shakespeare " (alias Marlowe, read Summary!)
was still alive and revealed  his fate in a roundabout way. It clearly corresponds to the alleged Death of Marlowe 1593 May 30th in a Taverne because  of a brawl  about a reckoning.(in Deptford)- 

____________

The total of the contextual contents of "Wits Recreations" leaves no doubt, that its author must have been  the "True Shakespeare" [ alias concealed Marlowe]
