Kristofer Marlo
The Murder of the Man Who Was Shakespeare` is a 1955 book by Calvin Hoffman that promotes the theory that Christopher Marlowe was the true author of the works attributed to William Shakespeare. Hoffman argues that the 1593 death of Marlowe was a staged event, orchestrated by his protector Sir Thomas Walsingham, to allow Marlowe to escape charges of heresy and continue writing under Shakespeare`s name. While influential in certain Marlovian circles, the book`s claims are largely dismissed by mainstream scholars.
Key Points
The Author:
Calvin Hoffman was a Broadway press agent who wrote the book in 1955.
The Central Argument:
The book posits that Christopher Marlowe, a prominent Elizabethan playwright, was the real author behind the plays and poems published under the name William Shakespeare.
The `Murder`:
Hoffman theorizes that Marlowe`s death at Deptford in 1593 was not a genuine killing but a conspiracy.
The Motive:
Marlowe was facing charges of heresy and atheism, and his protector, Sir Thomas Walsingham, helped him fake his death to save his life.
The `Imposture`:
After faking his death, Marlowe continued to write but under an assumed name, William Shakespeare, an actor.
Academic Viewpoint:
Mainstream Shakespearean scholars and academics do not accept Hoffman`s theory, viewing it as an interesting but flawed speculation.
Significance
The book was very influential in popularizing the Marlovian theory of Shakespearean authorship.
It sparked interest in the Shakespeare authorship question, with some, like Michael Rubbo (producer of `Much Ado About Something`), crediting Hoffman`s book with starting their research.
