The Cambridge Portrait
Read why this portrait is thought to be Christopher Marlowe
As Daryl Pinksen writes in his new book Marlowe’s Ghost, “The evidence for Marlowe’s authorship of the works of Shakespeare is overwhelming. The case is made simply by listening to two centuries of Shakespearean scholarship.” The Marlowe Studies website centralizes this scholarship, making available for the first time online reading of the books and essays that have built the solid case for Christopher Marlowe as the author of the Shakespeare works. These studies offer Academia a most fascinating focal point for students navigating both Shakespeare and the Sixteenth Century, and can aid the planning of High School teachers and College Professors.
