I therefore obtained a "tiny URL" for it, and posted that. Having done so, I discovered that by some miracle the whole of the original address had now appeared in my first post, making me look somewhat stupid. <br /><br />Looking at my post this time I again see only an address which stops half-way through, at "Riddle_of_the". As I post the following, it still does, but I guarantee that as soon as I post the "tinyurl" for it - http://tinyurl.com/yk4tfe9 - the blinking thing will correct itself once again!<br /><br />Peter FareyPeter Fareynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942147318185235475.post-65366887169847092082009-12-03T08:08:48.448-05:002009-12-03T08:08:48.448-05:00John Hermann said...The biggest stumbling block fo...John Hermann said...The biggest stumbling block for acceptance of the non-orthodox view is the absence of direct (non-circumstantial) evidence for Marlowe’s survival beyond 1593, notwithstanding that there are considerable anomalies in the coronial report.<br /><br />Hello again, John,<br /><br />That is not the only place, of course, where a whole lot of anomalies have to be explained. For example, in my "The Riddle of the Monument" at http://www.marloweshakespeare.org/files/Riddle_of_the_Monument.pdf you will find a multitude of anomalies concerning the Stratford monument. I have been able to find only one way in which <b>every one of them</b> can be explained. This is that the poem on the monument is in fact a riddle concealing the message that "Christofer Marley" (as Marlowe signed his own name) "is returned" and is in some way "in" the monument with Shakespeare. If you can find a better <b>single</b> explanation for all of them, please let me know! <br /><br />Peter FareyPeter Fareyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10831970805813704434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942147318185235475.post-20596658727390324182009-12-02T23:13:17.833-05:002009-12-02T23:13:17.833-05:00The stylometric work - the Mendenhall results in p...The stylometric work - the Mendenhall results in particular - and the refinements of Peter Farey which show an almost perfect fit between the late Marlowe works (1588 to 1593) and the Shakespeare non-comedies, are truly remarkable. Nevertheless, these results do not prove that Marlowe wrote the Shakespearean works solo. Clearly, Shakespeare was profoundly interested in, and fascinated by, Marlowe’s pioneering developments in the utilisation of blank verse. He would have emulated Marlowe’s style, and would have sought to expand and develop it. Although a good case can be made for Marlowe/Shakespeare co-authorship of many of the early Shakespearean plays (perhaps involving collaboration, and/or Shakespeare’s revision of unpublished Marlowe works), it is less certain that the later plays (i.e., post 1600) reflect the direct participation of Marlowe, notwithstanding that his influence remains in them. The biggest stumbling block for acceptance of the non-orthodox view is the absence of direct (non-circumstantial) evidence for Marlowe’s survival beyond 1593, notwithstanding that there are considerable anomalies in the coronial report . Of course, if such evidence were to surface, then Marlovian theory would be more widely understood and accepted as a reasonable interpretation of the origins of most of the Shakespearean works. I don’t believe the story of Mr Le Doux is sufficiently compelling to fill that gap.<br />John HermannUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06518607490623865130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942147318185235475.post-48855055708912149192009-06-30T18:14:03.460-04:002009-06-30T18:14:03.460-04:00a very interesting post.a very interesting post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942147318185235475.post-30727709376706042452009-03-25T09:32:00.000-04:002009-03-25T09:32:00.000-04:00Great, great article (I first read this in Mr. Pin...Great, great article (I first read this in Mr. Pinksen's Marlowe's Ghost).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942147318185235475.post-55580196206214300162009-03-22T18:56:00.000-04:002009-03-22T18:56:00.000-04:00I've enjoyed reading Mr. Pinksen's posts . . .I've enjoyed reading Mr. Pinksen's posts . . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942147318185235475.post-47890821921496144592009-03-04T04:57:00.000-05:002009-03-04T04:57:00.000-05:00thanks for the post. another thing stratfordians m...thanks for the post. another thing stratfordians must answer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942147318185235475.post-44173807472057563902009-03-03T04:50:00.000-05:002009-03-03T04:50:00.000-05:00very interestingvery interestingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942147318185235475.post-31034499342959612482009-03-02T04:51:00.000-05:002009-03-02T04:51:00.000-05:00thanks for this great article darylthanks for this great article darylAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942147318185235475.post-58068018584011285802009-03-01T17:19:00.000-05:002009-03-01T17:19:00.000-05:00Absolutely fascinating, great website!Absolutely fascinating, great website!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
