On the morning of May 30, 1593, Christopher Marlowe met with three
associates in the English intelligence network. Later that evening
the Queen's coroner was summoned to their meeting place. A body lay
on the floor. After an inquest, the dead man was taken to a nearby
churchyard busy at the time receiving victims of the plague.
According to the official report, England's foremost playwright was
interred without fanfare or marker. Soon, plays attributed to
William Shakespeare began to appear on the London stage, plays so
undeniably similar to Marlowe's that noted scholars have since
declared that Shakespeare wrote as if he had been Marlowe's
apprentice.
"Marlowe's Ghost: The Blacklisting of the Man Who Was
Shakespeare" explores the possibility that persecution of a writer
who dared to question authority may have led to the greatest
literary cover-up of all time.
