Overview

In The Marlowe-Shakespeare Continuum, Donna N. Murphy demonstrates how Christopher Marlowe, sometimes in co-authorship with humorist Thomas Nashe, appears to have ""become"" Shakespeare on a linguistic basis. She documents a sharp, upward learning curve, with the initial penning of works she examines in the following chronological order: Caesar's Revenge, II Henry VI, The Taming of a Shrew, III Henry VI, Edward III, Titus Andronicus, Thomas of Woodstock, Romeo and Juliet, and I Henry IV, and separates certain plays into Marlowe and Nashe components. Those who read Murphy's book with an open mind are likely to find her work surprisingly convincing.

Beaumont and Fletcher, Gilbert and Sullivan, Rogers and Hammerstein. To these illustrious duos, Donna Murphy adds Christopher Marlowe and Thomas Nashe, the brilliant Elizabethan dramatists. In her groundbreaking book The Marlowe-Shakespeare Continuum, she shows that this tandem collaborated on various anonymous early plays and Shakespeare works. Through a mountain of meticulously documented Matches, Near Matches, Rare Scattered Word Clusters, and Image Clusters, as well as logic and biographical connections, she makes a compelling case. The Marlowe-Shakespeare Continuum will forever change the way we regard these two literary giants as well as the Shakespeare authorship question. - Alex Jack, editor of Hamlet and As You Like It, and founder of christophermarlowe.org
