Anthony Burgess said that the virtue of historical fiction is its
vice - the flatfooted affirmation of possibility as fact. It is
possible that Shakespeare met Marlowe, as he does in Sure
Uncertainty. It is possible that Marlowe's untimely death caused
some of his unpublished plays to end up in the hands of
Shakespeare. And it is true, strangely, that William Shakespeare
and Christopher Marlowe were born on exactly the same date. Is this
a coincidence, or the reason why Will Shakespeare wants to avenge
the murder of Kit and prevent Marlowe's godson from becoming
involved in Catesby's plot to blow up Parliament? And yet, if the
brutal killing of Marlowe was twelve years before the Gunpowder
Plot, how else are these two incidents linked?
