His position as shareholder in an Elizabethan theater company put him in a position analogous to Yordan's in 1950's Hollywood.<BR/><BR/>Viewing Shakespeare's publication history through this lens can answer many persistent problems in Shakespeare scholarship. <BR/><BR/>My hunch is that Shakespeare brought a blacklisted Christopher Marlowe's work to his company's stage; plays which were eventually published in Shakespeare's name.Daryl Pinksenhttp://www.marlowesghost.comnoreply@blogger.com
