Samuel Blumenfeld on the Shakespeare Hoax, part 4

Samuel Blumenfeld, author of The Marlowe-Shakespeare Connection: A New Study of the Authorship Question (McFarland 2008), interviewed by a Harvard undergrad in Cambridge, MA, on May 14, 2009. In this segment, Blumenfeld briefly discusses Christopher Marlowe's exceptional education (add this fact to his indisputable talents as a playwright and he's the most "attractive" candidate to have authored the Shakespeare works). Also, Blumenfeld talks about a crucial human link between Marlowe and Shakespeare - the publisher Edward Blount.
