a hidden Story Now uncovered!
“Without MUNDAY, NO SHAKESPEARE: A hidden story uncovered”? How might the emphasis on “MUNDAY” (likely referring to Anthony Munday, an Elizabethan playwright and contemporary) hint at a key figure in the narrative being presented?
The description calls it a “kurzes Exposé” — a short exposé or summary — of B. Conrad’s book Der wahre Shakespeare: Christopher Marlowe.
This book tackles the centuries-old “authorship problem.”
What does that phrase “authorship problem” bring to mind for you? Have you encountered debates about whether the man from Stratford-upon-Avon truly wrote the plays and poems attributed to William Shakespeare?
From what we can gather, Conrad, argues after extensive research that Christopher Marlowe is the most plausible true author. Marlowe, officially recorded as dying in 1593, is proposed in this theory to have faked his death to escape threats of execution for heresy or treason, then continued writing under pseudonyms — including Shakespeare.
Now, turning back to the video’s provocative title: Why do you think it claims there would be “NO SHAKESPEARE” without Munday? Could Munday have played a role in the alleged cover-up, perhaps as a witness, intermediary, or someone involved in the events surrounding Marlowe’s “death”? Or might he connect to the publication or concealment of works?
The video appears brief and introductory, with low views and no comments yet, serving mainly to highlight a specific “hidden story” from a larger work. What aspects of this theory intrigue you most — the historical evidence, the stylistic comparisons between Marlowe and Shakespeare, or the idea of a grand deception in Elizabethan England? How might examining primary sources from that era help us evaluate such claims?
