(526) An open letter to a guest post of "Before Shakespeare"

 OPEN  L E TT E R 


                                                          
Hallo Alexander Thom,

I am a retired Professor for Neuroscience from Munich and wrote a german book (after 10 years of reading and studies) on the Marlowe/Shakespeare Authorship thesis . Unfortunately I couldn’t find an english Publisher, since I was regarded (up to now) as a conspiracy ideologist. At least, I lately fabricated a short english Summary of the book. (Video youtube) (=Blog 559)

With great interest I read your

exploring the trope of banishment in early commercial drama.


 on the website „Before Shakespeare“ . I suppose it‘s a base of your upcoming PhD „Bodies of Law: Banishment, Marriage, and Sovereign Power in Shakespeare’s Plays“.

The reason of my letter is a question:

 What may be the reason, that in your essay on "Banishment in Shakespeares time" you totally neglegt (or deny?) the Marlowe / Shakespeare thesis, even though banishment, exile, disgrace , loss of identity etc. is a crucial element

 not only in Marlowe / Shakespeare‘s work but also in other poets or playwrights works ( explained as contemporary pseudonyms) such as [s.Video] --> Drayton(1), Griffin (2) Ford (3) Shake-speare(4) and many more

Is the Marlowe/Shakespeare authorship thesis (also to the younger generation) a total nonsense?


With regards
Bastian Conrad
