When will Marlowe ever get
his Chance?
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
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 ...
What a shame. -
YOUNG PEOPLE SHOULD BE MORE CRITICAL
AND NOT SO FAITHFUL
