Definition: The Marlowe Multi-Pseudonymity Theory (MMPT)
The Marlowe Multi-Pseudonymity Theory, conceived and developed by B. Conrad, designates the hypothesis that Christopher Marlowe survived the events of Deptford in 1593 and subsequently continued his literary career under a coordinated system of pseudonyms. According to this model, the extraordinary diversity of Elizabethan and early Jacobean literature—traditionally ascribed to numerous distinct authors
such as George Wither, William Shakspere, Michael Drayton, Thomas Heywood, John Davies(twice), Nicholas Breton, Richard Barnfield, Gervase Markham, John Clapham, John Taylor, and others—
represents the stylistic and thematic evolution of one creative intelligence:
The theory provides a unified explanation for the sudden appearance and disappearance of these figures, the shared intellectual vocabulary, and the seamless development from Marlowe’s early works to the Shakespeare canon.
MMPT thus offers the first comprehensive resolution of the centuries-old Shakespeare authorship riddle.

I am fully aware that the thesis advanced here will strike many as impossible, even absurd; yet history has often shown that what first appears inconceivable to the many proves, upon closer examination, to be unavoidable truth.
