The anonymous author of "The Arte of English Poesie (1598)"...
exhibiting powerful parallels with the language displayed in Shakespeare's plays,
... must be identified as the greatest English Poet Genius
(i.e. Marlowe alias 'Shakespeare' )
The same printer Richard Field
used this emblem a few years later for Shakespeares op.1
(Venus and Adonis 1593) and op.2 (Lucrece 1594)
Oxfordian Richard Malim wrote in Brief Chronicles VII (2016) an article „Oxford and The Arte of English Poesie“. One can agree that the anonymous author of the „The Arte of English Poesie" [s.Faksimile, 1589] cannot have been a supposed certain as George Puttenham!

Malim points to interesting parallels of similar wordings and idioms between „The Arte“ and „Shakespeare‘s work“, which by no means can have occured purely accidental. -
But how to explain the contextual connections between both ?
Malims bizarre conclusion is that the dating of Shakespeare’s works must have been prior to 1589, because Puttenham already quoted Shakespeare (1589) , and that this rules the Stratfordman out , as the author of the plays.

Malims final conclusion: „These examples [of wordings] are a small fraction of those available whereby Puttenham’s quotations can be seen to be taken from works (…) written and in circulation before Puttenham’s publication date of 1589.
Puttenham therefore provides vital pieces of evidence for the dating of works, and these rule out William Shakspere of Stratford-Upon-Avon as the author.“ [thus .... are in favor of the Earl of Oxford?]

Should'nt Malim last sentence be: "The parallels of some wordings and idioms in the "Arte" 1589 compared to Shakespeare's later works do manifest the early genuine inner richness of the "conceptual literary" brain of the "true" poet Genius Shakespeare", whoever he was.
Is it conceivable that at the literary climax of Shakespeare / Marlowe [see--> Marlowe/ alias Shakespeare Thesis] both in his 25th year of life (1589), an unknown author Puttenham wrote nothing else [-->one exception] than this high profile essay : "The Arte of English Poesie?"
If the "The Arte", is exhibiting such powerful parallels with the language displayed in Shakespeare's plays, is'nt it much more likely, that its anonymous author must be identified as the greatest english poet Genius?

Is there any reason that speaks against it?
