Christopher Marlowe: Every Word Doth Almost Tell My Name
These essays from The Marlowe Studies give the Shakespeare authorship evidence for Christopher Marlowe that has been overlooked by traditionalists resistant to the idea someone other than the Stratford man wrote the works.

Shakespeare, Marlowe, Jonson
A remarkable resurgence of interest has taken place over recent years in a biographical approach to the work of early modern poets and dramatists, in particular to the plays and poems of Shakespeare, Marlowe and Jonson.

Scepticism and self-criticism are marked features of the writing gathered here.

The End of Vandalism
