(589) The intangibility of the Marlowe / Shakespeare authorship thesis.-

When will Marlowe ever get

 his Chance?

Wittenberg

The (MSA) Marlowe Society of America held its 8th International Conference from 10–13 July, 2018 in Wittenberg, Germany,  an important historic center of both religion and culture in sixteenth-century Germany….its university (now known as the "Leucorea") was made the alma mater of Shakespeare's Hamlet ("Let not thy mother lose her prayers, Hamlet: / I pray thee, stay with us; go not to Wittenberg."). The town also served as backdrop for the B-Text Doctor Faustus, the locale where Faustus first "surfeits upon cursed necromancy" and where his life ends "All torn asunder by the hand of death!"

Could MSA organize a conference with 70 lecturers without sponsorship? No....it is obvious that sponsorship depended on the INTANGIBILITY Of THE STRATFORD DOGMA . Crossing this sacred frontier, (by dealing with the Marlowe / Shakespeare authorship)  the conference and MSA would have had no chance to get institutional financial support.

The International Marlowe Conference featured keynote presentations by all the ultra-dogmatic  Stratfordian scholars such as Lukas Erne (University of Geneva), Kristen Poole (University of Delaware), Holger Syme (University of Toronto) ,  and Meghan C. Andrews [ unfortunately recently deceased!] and many more.

Be aware, Marlowe ( if he is not Shakespeare) is licensed for research (only)  but not for  the prohibited zone of plausible theories ,  the entrance  is advisable only for those who are really independent and free, who have nothing to lose , who are no longer hurt when the official exorcist supervisors of literature signify that "doubting is mental illness " (J. D. Dixon) and these who disobey the blind „Stratfordian or Oxfordian“ faith " are just crazy" (Stanley Wells). And they call themselves scholars?!

Look at the long Marlowe resources bibliography on the MSA home page. And look at the much longer  Shakespeare bibliographies anywhere in the world.  An army of researchers will have to face that their work (sometimes life work) is a pile of scientific garbage. As long as this consacrated legend reigns, it's a better choice for them to accept benefits, job, professional advancement, prestige, reputation instead of risking „Career Suicide“.- Their price is to accept also the rules of silence (omerta), and put the common sense in the wardrobe — or even better in the safe.

                     In Wittenberg Megan C.Andrews (unfortunately deceased in June 2023)

                                             gave a speech on Michael Drayton ,

                                                earlier she had published an interesting  article entitled

Michael Drayton , Shakespeare‘s Shadow.

For  reasons mentioned above (“Career suicide“), in her article (and at the conference) she didn‘t even dare to discuss a plausible possible  Marlowe / Shakspere connection, which assumes, that (surviving) Marlowe wrote under a multiplicity of pennames including Michael Drayton ...

(588) Shakespeare‘s identity : Encrypted beyond any recognition

ALEXANDER. W A U G H (8)

   Encrypted 

beyond any Recognition?

Alexander Waugh 

                         

I am  always fascinated by the imaginative power of the human brain in general and  of Alexander Waugh in particular, what a fantastic obsession in a neve-never land, encrypted beyond recognition, decrypted after 400 years, by an 'unleashed' brain.

Alexander Waugh‘s Video

On Thomas Edwards

 Video 

Alexander Waugh‘s message (3.8.2020):  Thomas Edwards in 1595 knew that Shakespeare was the pseudonym of Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford! ....

Can that be true at all?

This time Alexander Waugh in his Video series used Thomas Edwards (TE) a contemporary of William Shakspere „trying to prove that his (TE) witness knew, that Shakespeare was a pseudonym being used by the poeticall 17th Earl of Oxford (Edward de Vere)".  

As the decisive piece of evidence    

selected TE's" Narcissus".

It remains difficult to understand why Waugh didn‘t give the  full (significant!) title and picture! of TE’s book „Cephalus and Procris“ (1595) and  why in 1595 in the dedication entitled „To the Honorable Gentlemen & true favorites of  Poetrie" the author openly confesses :

                       " O what is honor without the complement of Fame?"

                          "...my soul darkened with the terror of oblivion"

Who other than Marlowe in 1595 could have had a motif to explicitly write and reflect such  perspective of life.- . I see no motif for Edward de Vere.

How can we  understand, that  a completely unknown Thomas Edwards was the first author to mention Shakespeare’s op.1  "Venus and Adonis (1593)  in his "Cephalus and Procris" which entered  the Stationers' Register , October  22 1593 -  

How can it be that at that early time (1595), TE  in Narcissus is already quoting Marlowes "Hero & Leander ",!??    How  could  he have known from this poem that early, which appeared in print only years later  (1598)?

 Isn't the authorship thesis ... 

A.)  that the only existing poet and playwright genius of his time,

surviving  Christopher Marlowe  was the author of  "Venus & Adonis" (1593 Shakespeare's op.1)  and "Lucrece" (1594 Shakespeare's op.2)  far more logic and plausible  ...than

B )  that Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, with no documented capabilities of a playwright genius whatsoever, was the "true" Shakespeare?

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

Marlowe‘s case could be a very strong one!

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 

Click Video —>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 single („hand“) written [letter]  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“!

The Authorship  Circus

(582) The Shakespeare Authorship Debate Ends Here — Marlowe’s Smoking Gun

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]

_____________________________________________

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.

The unimaginable, gigantic productivity of the "real or true" Shakespeare

Marlowe's [the "true or real" Shakespeare's] literary capacity  surpassed contemporary Writers beyond Imagination !!

End of the Epistle "Newes from Graves-end"(1603) by
NOBODY or Nicholas NEMO ,  the anonymous Poet!

_________________

<——The first (left)                    and last lines (right)  of the dedicatory Epistle of  "The Newes from Graves-end (1604)" of Nicholas Nemo alias Nobody  _______________________

According to the  expanded   ->"Marlowe Theory" the real or  true" Shakespeare wrote under a bulk of initials, pennames, pseudonyms, (such alias as  John Davies (BLOG 301 (2x), Michael Drayton s.BLOG 324), Thomas Heywood, (BLOG-330, BLOG 331) William Shakespeare a.o.), or anonymously, as absurd as it may sound at first glance.  

The anonymous author of „Newes from Graves-End“ (1603)…

 (Shakespeare experts  - as orthodox Gary Taylor -  with no real  justification assume Thomas Dekker / Thomas Middleton as the authors) 

…most likely was the poet genius Poet Genius Marlowe alias Shake-speare (not to be confused with the Stratford man : Shakspere.

In the dedicatory Epistle to himself (!) --- the anonymous author calls himself allegorically  at the beginning

Nicholas Nemo, alias Nobody -

 and at the end devotes the epistle  " to  None but thy [him] selfe, Some-body".

This satiric wordplay ("Nobody") is tightly contextually connected to John Davies' epigrams  159, 160, 161 in the Scourge of folly (1611?)   

Epigramm 159: To our English Terence Mr. Will: Shake–speare.
Epigramm 160: To his most constant, though most vnknowne friend; No–body.
Epigramm 161: To my neere-deere wel-knowne friend; Some-body.                      

---

The assumption that Marlowe , the "real or true Shakespeare"  wrote under an unimaginable  multiplicity of pennames, pseudonyms or unonymously, is hard to digest!

In order to be true, it needs the additional assumption,

that Marlowe's literary capacity throughout his long life  must have been exceptionally high and  surpassed contemporary writers by far, beyond imagination ...

This inconceivable literary efficiency and  gigantic productivity becomes visible in some lines of the epistle in the Anonymous book "NEWES from Graves-end" (1603)

....how much happier had it bin for them , to have changed their copied & from sciences bin bound to good Occupations, considering that one London-occupier  (....) puts up more in a weeke, than  seven Bachilers of Art  (...)  do in a yeare.-
Hath not the Plague (incomparable Nobody ) and therefore incomparable, bicause with an Aeneas-like glory , thou hast redeemed the golden-tree of Poesie,  even out of the hellish scorne, that this worlde(…) hopes to dam it with ) hath it not,  I say done all men knights service in working the downfall of our greatest                                                                                       & greediest beggers?  (....)

(536) John Davies : A double falsehood ? [false identities and name - identical to Shak(e)speare?]

J O H N   D A V I E S ( 8)

Consider that we learn that at Shakespeares times there existed 

Two high level 

contemporaneous POETS 

 who published with...

the same name "John Davies!", in

the same year "1602"  , in             

the same City in "London about    

                the same literary subject matter"  (the Soul) ,

"

 2 masterpieces of philosophical literature

                         "NOSCE TE IPSUM".                    and .                   „ MIRUM IN MODUM"

________________

Consider that in the "Scourge of Follies" (Date of print not secured , >1610) t

the one John Davies wrote a dedication to the other! 

 How do you interprete this poem?

_________________

Also note that from Essay 34 in John Davies "Wittes Pilgrimage" (1605) you get  (specific biograhical) ideas about his poignant life situation

                                             Essai 34 in Wittes Pilgrimage (1605)

                                                                    ("Marlowes life situation")

                                                 

Doesn't this situation in 1605 fits better to someone else [e.g. Marlowe  who was alive but simultaneously dead] than to an unknown destiny of  a certain John Davies?

(512) Faustus and Hamlet reflecting a single author: Marlowe alias Shakespeare

 Faustus and Hamlet reflecting a single author: 

No-one can seriously assume, that the Plays of Prince Hamlet and Dr. Faustus are pure literary fiction: 

They contain significant autobiographical connections 

to the "true" Shakespeare [alias Marlowe] 

—————————-

"Doktor Faustus" (The play, by C.Marlowe ) ....was performed in London prior to 1593 and staged successfully 25 times between  1594 and  1597. A modified textual revival after 1602 was printed for the first time in 1604.

"Hamlet"(The play, by W.Shakespeare) . There are no references to early performances of Hamlet in London. Surviving texts suggest that the author added passages, after the play had been in performance for a  while, prior to 1600.  It was first printed  in 1603 (Q1) and a second time in 1604 (Q2) after a considerable  revision of the text.

The conclusion of the Video : +

                       Marlowe in 1616 "officially" dead for almost 25 years, was alive!
There are no reason or motives why the B-Text (Faustus) was kept under lock for a quarter of a century and  who else but the author himself  could have added such late significant "biographical" information in view of the proximate death (1616) of his "literary dummy" "Shakspeare" from Stratford.

.

                                      C L I C K    V I D E O !

Denying the [virtually unimaginable] possibility of TRUE Shakespeare having been a [Pen] Name of Marlowe as taken (borrowed)  from a "real" provincial Stratford frontman 

will prevent a plausible solution to the century old unspeakable 

Shakespeare Authorship Controversy.
