Shakespeare fronts Marlowe. Daryl Pinksen explains

Daryl Pinksen has written a book, Marlowe's Ghost, about the theory that Christopher Marlowe was the real author of the plays we know as Shakespeare's. He explains to me what he finds most persuasive about the theory. He was inspired to write the book by my documentary, Much Ado About Something.

Marlowe's Ghost made a believer out of me. Very well written and very reasonable.

What do Marlovians believe to be the earliest reliable reference to Shakespeare as the author of the plays? Is there any overlap with Marlowe's known lifespan that needs accounting for?

[daver852]

Pinksen is exactly right. Marlowe's plays and the early Shakespearian works are very similar.  I cannot fathom how anyone who has read the works of both Marlowe and Shakespeare could attribute the works to the Earl of Oxford - a lot of Oxford's writings survive, and they are all pretty wretched, amateurish stuff. The case for Marlowe may be circumstantial, but it is very convincing, nonetheless.

I would suggest a fund for research to uncover the location where Marlowe wrote after May1593 - was it Scotland? - was it Italy?

In case anyone hasn't seen Mr. Rubbo's YouTube excerpt from his excellent film, type "Much Ado About Something (Excerpts)".

Well written!  The onus is on the wrong group here: The skeptics have more scholarly evidence on their side now than the defenders seem to!
