(587) Oxfordian Richard Waugaman does not even once dare to mention Marlowe

Marlowe's Inconceivable Multiplicity

What a shame that not even once ( ....an unforgivable failure!) Richard Waugaman mentioned in "his Reflections on Pen names and Shakespeare

Shakespeare Marlowe

(586) The Oxfrauds and their inner dichotomy towards the Marlowe candidacy

Marlowe‘s could be a very strong case

Oxfraudians unfortunately handed over their common sense to the cloakroom of the authorship theater...
The Oxfraud community (with about 250 members) stated on their Website that they launched the site, five years ago to a chorus of jeers from Oxfordians everywhere, many of whom wrote to them explaining their insignificance and pointing out that they would be swamped by the onslaught of the new ‘post-stratfordian' paradigm

With an inner joy they express that they „survived that onslaught, and every other one since including "The Stritmatterian Big Fist", the Declaration of Reasonable Unreason, the Wavian Teflon Fortress“ and here they „are still doing business.“

... and „the business end of this argument would [now] be over and Oxfordians rarely would now emerge in public.“
___________________
We learn ...

A) about 102 reasons to dismiss Oxford's candidacy. We learn that since the group first launched the site, the big (authorship) questions have been getting smaller. They ask themselves („strangely!“) „why there is anyone left at all believing in alternative authorship, is the biggest question today .“..but stunningly they also state ....

B) that „there are better candidates ...and alternative candidates.... Most of them better than the Earl of Oxford. „. A heavily commented part of the site.


Christopher Marlowe

Strangely enough you find a chapter about Christopher Marlowe's candidacy …claiming that it has a great deal going for it“.... You learn from Oxfrauds website:

There would be {only} one major hurdle to overcome. If De Vere was dead before a third of the {Shakespeare} plays were written, Marlowe was dead before almost any {? None!} of them were written. Marlowe died in a pub { ?...it was „a house“, owned by Eleanor Bull .....) in Deptford on 30 May 1593 There was a body, there were witnesses, there was an inquest, there were 16 jurors, there was a verdict and there was a funeral.{ really? everything discovered not even 100 years ago}„

„However, the historical sleight of hand required to turn the man from Canterbury into the man from Stratford {would be} only a fraction of what is needed to turn the 17th Earl into Shakespeare. And Marlovians are up to the task. They have an explanation for the witnesses, an alternative body and a host of reasons why Marlowe would want to play dead and could have pulled off a fake killing successfully. 

We read..“..If Marlowe didn't die in 1593 and became Shakespeare then there is no need for the preposterous Oxfordian redating scheme. The plays, say Marlovians, were written and performed in an order which follows the rules of history, scholarship and common sense....“

...the rules of Common Sense:   

Formulated and written by Oxfraud !


Unlike Oxford, Marlowe was a 
gifted writer,
a pioneering playwright,
a superb poet and 
a consummate craftsman.
Stylometry even places his vocabulary nearest to the vocabulary used in the canon (Oxford's is out by from here to Venus).

Unlike Oxford, Marlowe was a commoner, a rare visitor to court with no rights or personal experience of courtoisie and matters of detailed hierarchy. His English history plays show shortcomings in knowledge of the court that are 

almost identical to the gaps in Shakespeare's knowledge.

Unlike Oxford, Marlowe was a graduate—an intellectual even. The so-called 'missing academic hinterland' 
need not be improvised from fable as the evidence is all solid.

Unlike Oxford, there are plausible reasons for the switch with 

no need for feeble pseudonymy or 
the invention of claptrap like 'the stigma of print'.

Unlike Oxford, the use of a pseudonym in the publication of —>Venus and Adonis 

supports the argument instead of blasting it to smithereens.

Unlike Oxford, the cover up as Marlowe assumed his new identity in a milieu which already knew him as Marlowe
does not require the incredible invention of a second Shakespeare 
to explain away topical references. 

——————————
Original Oxfraud text:

"If only Will had made zero impact before the publication of —>Venus and Adonis (a fantastic nonsense!) Marlowe's could be a very strong case.!!!!!!!!"

(585) DOUBLE DUMMY : Oxfraud / Shakefraud! The Questionability of the Shakespeare Authorship issue.

From the worlds most gigantic „writer“ 
   naming  himself „SHAKE-SPEARE“
never a („hand“) written single [letter] sentence has ever been discovered.That‘s...

the most Incredible Grotesque:

The world's greatest literary and playwright genius of all time,
 who during his entire lifetime (... especially in his 25 years in London)  never communicated (by any note, sentence or letter) with any publicly known person....

Stunningly, that does not need an explanation for the impressive & bizarre „Battle Troop“ (...fighting for „William“ from Stratford) ...called the

OXFRAUD
With their admirable perseverance for the absolute 

„Unimaginable“ of a (double) Shakespeare
Authorship falsehood !
———
Believe it or not! There did exist a „William Shakspeare  from Stratford. 
But he was no poet and playwright  genius!

He was taken as a protective „Dummy“, a pseudonym ! (for deadly threatened Christopher Marlowe
accused  of  High-Treason & Heresy)

That‘s the even more remarkable
SHAKEFRAUD“!

(584) The Shakespeare authorship issue.- Who can still believe that?

A highly interested  Marlowian Roland Lenz from near Fulda  (Hesse) wrote me a letter proposing, we should take a much more provocative (aggressive) attitude towards the Shakespeare/Marlowe authorship issue.....




William Shakespeare has been found! 

The greatest stage writer in the world was, of course, the most talented person of his time or maybe of all time? However, he is said to have taken the blank verse from Christopher Marlowe. Two geniuses born in the same year and one copying from the other, so to speak? 

Who can still believe that?

, one Poet genius (W.S.) appears on the literary stage when the other (C.M.) has just died! He died in a knife fight in 1593 because of a bill to pay for food and drinks among friends! 

Who can still believe that?

In 1599 Christopher Marlowe enrolled in the seminary in Valladolid and in 1602 the head of this seminar reported to the Crown Council in London that he had noticed a Christopher Marlor (aka Matthew) and that he was planning to go to London. 

Who can still believe that?

 In 1604, after his release from a London prison, Christopher Marlowe was issued an invoice for his 7-week prison sentence, which, however, was sent directly to the head of the Crown Council, Robert Cecil! 

Who can still believe that?

By the way, Christopher Marlowe studied in Cambridge at the same time as Robert Cecil - who eventually became the second most powerful man in England after Jakob I.

 Who can still believe that?


Aren't creative people always looking for stories like this? 
I believe in it! Doesn't that provide material for an incredible documentary that the “Shakespeare Authorship Question” cries out for ??? 

Best regards

(583) Everyone is tired of Fake (Shakespeare) News


In 2018, I sent an open letter to SOF as a test balloon, so to speak, 
without expecting an answer to follow....
____________________________
Open letter 2018 to SOF
Open letter to the president of SOF

EVERYONE IS TIRED OF FAKE NEWS AND WE ARE TIRED OF FAKE SHAKESPEARE! 
I am a Marlowian – 
I’m asking for your assistance in new, concentrated efforts. While we have the facts about Marlowe being the most plausible author behind the alias Shakespeare, as we know from current times, facts are not enough! Facts can be ignored or simply dismissed if they present a threat to current belief. There is much money at stake and reputations are threatened when we challenge the traditional myth that the author was William Shakspere of Stratford-upon-Avon. The best evidence indicates that the real author was Christopher Marlowe . This claim impacts the validity of doctorates and biographies of so many Shakespearean “experts.”
Shakespeare plays are presented every day in every country in the world. Many plays, movies, symphonies, and operas are based on his writings. His writings impact our daily speech. Yet, the majority of the world doesn’t know his real biography. That by itself should lead to a renewal of interpretation of his works. There are many allusions that were topical to personalities of his time. To investigate these allusions would create a new Shakespeare Renaissance. People should be interested in the truth.
Yet, Marlowians are ignored by almost all of Academia, the press and the population at large. Nobody seems to care. Marlowians are treated like an irrelevant fringe cult! They are even more untouchable than Oxfordians Untouchable! Very few in academia will admit to even reading evidence about Marlowe:
• They ignored the seminal discovery by Leslie Hotson in 1925 or Calvin Hofmann 1955 etc etc-
• They ignore the 2007 Shakespeare Authorship Coalition’s “Declaration of Reasonable Doubt about the Identity of William Shakespeare,”which has been signed by over four thousand people now, including many Marlowians.
• They ignore Richard Roe’s 2010 book, The Shakespeare Guide to Italy, which demonstrates that the author traveled to Venice, Padua, Verona, Florence, and other places where the Shakespeare plays take place. We can deduce that Marlowe visited at least 8 times Italy ,( as early as 1574 as page boy for 10 months) but there is no evidence that Shakspere of Stratford ever left England.
• They ignore Samuel Blumenfelds and Daryl Pinksen biographies of Marlowe ( and several others) 2008, , in which (auto) biographical aspects of Marlowe are heavily represented.
And the list of Marlowian books goes on and on. All ignored!
Stratfordians claim that Shakespeare was a GENIUS who had an outstanding imagination and therefore the plays do not reflect his life.   Absurd!   Everyone’s work—in literature, painting, music, science—reflects one’s experience, education and travel.
Shakspeare of Stratford-upon-Avon is not known to have had ANY education, and his parents, wife and children were illiterate. His Will shows that he did not own any books at all, not even a family bible, or copies of Shakespeare’s plays or poems that had been printed at that time. Neither he nor his family ever claimed that he was a writer (there is no evidence that he ever even wrote a single etter!), never mind the author of some spectacular poems and plays. Many of the sources of the plays were available only in foreign languages—like Italian, French, Greek, and Latin. How could he read them? Marlowe, we know, was fluent in at least 8 languages and had access to these sources. Marlowe was praised by many of his contemporaries as the best writers of his time, but one whose “identity and name ” had to be concealed throughout his long life. ,” as stated in a book published in 2016 (5th edition) ! Was it an open secret? 
Remarkably, 7 plays (printed with his name only after his presumed death) have survived but many others have been printed also under a series pseudonyms (Such as Drayton, Wither, Breton, Barnfield, Basse and many more)

When anyone with an inquiring mind wishes to investigate the authorship question, they will turn to what the “experts” have to say. The “experts” are the professors of the leading universities, Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Stanford, etc. Yet these “experts” refuse to discuss the matter. The famous Shakespearean actors, Sir Derek Jacobi and Sir Mark Rylance, have been ignored and ridiculed in England by Academic professors for questioning the Shakespeare Authorship. An astrophysics professor at Stanford, Peter Sturrock, who wrote AKA Shakespeare: a Scientific Approach to the Authorship Question, has great difficulty in getting English professors to respond to his inquiries. One of his rare responses was, “You will never get me to believe that the works of Shakespeare were not written by the man from Stratford.” This is a Catch-22. 
It reminds one of the story that Galileo, having been the first to see the moons of Jupiter through his telescope, invited a math professor to take a look through the telescope; the professor declined because, he said, he knew there was nothing to see. “Experts” like these quash all inquiry and discussion, the opposite of what a University is supposed to foster.
A new documentary by Michael Rubbo , Much ado about something , is long out and discusses FACTS about Marlowe. Marlowians need contacts in the media that will interview them. We are initiating Podcasts on the SAQ.
This is what Marlowians need you to do:
1. Forward this to all your friends, family, colleagues, or anyone who you think might be interested in this dramatic cover-up.
2. . Ask your friends and family to join the Marlowe authorship thesis, and if possible, spread the strongest arguments.
3. If you know anyone in the media (TV, radio, cable, local paper, local access channel) contact them, send them a personal note and a copy of this email. Have them interview you. We will join you if possible, and if not, send you marketing material.
4. If you don’t know how to do it, have your kid or grandkid post this on all social media: Facebook, Instagram, and X. Have them create a hashtag such as #TheRealShakespeare or #400YearOldHoax.
5. Spread the word through your personal network: friends, civic clubs, community centers, etc. You’d be surprised how people that don’t know much about Shakespeare become riveted by this story.
6. Link the Marlowe website and youtube to your online posts.
7. Let us know if you can get the Mike Rubbo documentary screened anywhere.
 Share the Marlowe/Shakespeare video on you tube with your friends. They are suited in spreading the complex facts ! They are educational and fun.
Marlowians have been too nice and respectful, trying not to offend the Oxfordians . And the Strats continue to get away with their malarkey! It’s time for more voices to be heard!
                                                      GET THE WORD OUT!
Marlowian by far have the best cards.. It had to be Christopher Marlowe! — get used to it!

No more “fake news”! 
We need to educate the world about the complex truth of a real literary historical conspiracy 
looking  forward to your support

Sincerely,

(582) The „Smoking Gun“ of the Shakespeare/Marlowe authorship debate

The deliberately overlooked „Smoking guns“
for Marlowe, the most plausible candidate of the Shakespeare authorship debate.

There is only one  but crucial reason why Christopher Marlowe {C.M.}, as by far the most plausible and logic candidate, has constantly been rejected or dismissed by leading „Stratfordian“ academics (as well as by those impressive relentless ridiculous „Oxfraud“ combat troop) in the search for the true poet genius „Shakespeare.

It must be due  to the supposed certainty that the poet genius { C.M.} died too early that he can by no means  play a part in the authorship debate. 

———  B U T ————

 ... astonishingly and strangely enough, 
Why several historical sources found (which show that Marlowe survived) have not had any significant status to date ?

1599 [May 30]
6 years after Marlowe‘s alleged death a man is documented who presented himself for admissions to St.Albans, The English Colledge at Valladolid in Spain.  -  The College Register (Liber Alumnorum) shows the entry:
 Jo. {hann}Matheus {John Mathew}
   Right Margins.  al {ias} Christopher Marlerus {Christopher Marlowe}

1602 [July 4]
A letter by William Vaughan from Pisa (Italy) to the English Royal court was discovered by Leslie Hotson, wherein you read...
 „,,,in the said seminary there is....one Christopher Marlor (as he will be called) but yet for certainty his name is Christopher, sometimes Master of Arts of Trinity Colledge in Cambridge, of very low stature,well set of black round beard, nor yet priest, but to come over in the mission of the next year ensuing....

1604 [Aug.3 - Sept.23]
Gatehouse (Prison)London Westminster

Committed by my Lo: Chief Justice      Christopher Marlowe, alias Matheus, a seminary priest oweth  for 7 weeks and 2 days


_____________________________________________


The influential Marlowian Peter Farey has discussed the subject but came to the opposite  conclusion that a certain „John„ Mathew used the alias name of Christopher Marlowe.

Farey‘s logic is, however not convincing... given all arguments and facts
http://marlowe-shakespeare.blogspot.com/2010/07/john-matthew-alias-christopher-marlowe.html

_________________________________

For an abundance of  reasons, ( click links). there can be little doubt, that Christopher Marlowe used the name „Mathew“ as an alias Name , he used , however  „Tobias“ ,or „Tobie“ (Mathew) as the prename.




The fact, that Francis Bacon (living at the same time as Marlowe /Shakespeare in the same City in London) in his entire life never ever used or wrote the name „Shakespeare needs a plausible explanation: Bacons  impressive contents of his  documented correspondence with „his alter ego“ Tobie Mathew clearly prove, that Tobie Matthew was an alias for concealed Marlowe/Shakespeare.
