Samuel Blumenfeld on the Shakespeare Hoax, part 1

[Almuric7]

I am starting to agree, before the supposed (universally agreed to be strange) death of Christopher Marlowe, he was the greatest, after Marlowe "died" Shakespeare appears also a master of the same Blank Verse & immediately takes over as the greatest. Add to that Shakespeare's effigy as a grain dealer/merchant (as attested by two different artists of the era) & the fact he left no literature in his will, penny pinched about everything BUT "his" plays & had no college IQ & no literary links??

Samuel Blumenfeld's book is great, finished last week, very compelling. A good book to read. My favorite conspiracy theory, in fact, the only one I consider plausible.

Sam mentioned the genius of Marlowe. Sam himself is a genius. His scholarship and insight on this subject is rivaled only by his knowledge of the dangers of government involvement in education. Go get 'em, Sam!

I enjoyed these videos. Thanks.

I enjoyed all five parts of the interview; Marlowe is the most intriguing candidate - he was a spy and a highly successful playwright. He certainly knew a thing or two about intrigue, so I could totally see him pulling this conspiracy off.

The International Marlowe-Shakespeare Society (IMSS) and the Marlowe-Shakespeare Connection blog are great resources. Btw, anyone who says Marlowe's style differs from Shakespeare's probably hasn't done his homework/read much of Marlowe. The IMSS has a great section on what the scholars say about the similarities between the two.
