The 'true' Shakespeare
(not the Stratford man),
and Gervase Markham,
one of his multple Pseudonyms.
----------------
The Video argues that Gervase (or Jarvis) Markham wasn’t simply an ordinary Elizabethan writer, but rather a pseudonym—similar in function to “Shake-Speare”—used by Christopher Marlowe, whom the video identifies as the real author behind works traditionally attributed to Shakespeare and other contemporaries.
-
Marlowe as the True Author:
-
The video supports the idea that Christopher Marlowe was the genuine creative force behind the Shakespeare canon and other works of the period.
-
It ties into the broader Marlowe/Multi-Pseudonymity authorship theory, which claims Marlowe didn’t die in 1593 but continued to write under various names.
-
-
Markham as a Pseudonym:
-
Gervase Markham (sometimes called “Jarvis Markham” in the video) is presented not as a separate historical author, but as another alias through which Marlowe published.
-
The argument draws an “accordance” or correspondence between Marlowe and the Markham name, positioning Markham as part of a network of pseudonyms deployed for anonymity and concealment.
-
-
Context Within Authorship Debate:
-
This claim is framed as one piece of evidence among several in favor of Marlowe’s authorship of works traditionally credited to William Shakespeare and others.
-
The video suggests that, like “Shake-Speare,” the name “Gervase Markham” served as a mask or cover identity rather than a real, independent historical author.
