(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
Roland Lenz
