Marlovian theory, Venus and Adonis, and the Shakespeare authorship question
Abstract
This project takes a critical look at the existing research for and
against the concept of Marlovian Theory and argues for Marlowe’s guise
as William Shakespeare in later life. This argument is drawn from not
only expert, outside scholarship, but also involves a close examination of
Marlovian and Shakespearian texts, specifically Venus and Adonis, and
strives to prove that it was, in fact, Marlowe who composed this epic poem.
This project also acknowledges the fact that despite what some might
consider definitive proof in favor of Marlovian Theory, the Shakespearian
authorship question will always remain.
