The Marlowe Conspiracy (Book) - 12/10/2010 5:22:03 PM
I'm the author of this novel, so I just wanted to give readers a little more information about the story.
As some people may know, Christopher Marlowe was a real playwright who wrote for THE ROSE theatre alongside William Shakespeare. He was the first person to use blank verse in dramatic form. His connection to the Elizabethan spy networks is widely speculated upon due to the fact that his patron was heavily connected in the spy world, and the Privy Council (the highest governing body in the country) directly intervened on Marlowe's behalf in a dispute with Cambridge University when it tried to ban his MA. Such an action is unprecedented and clearly indicates that Marlowe had upper-level connections. Marlowe's suspicious death in Deptford also involved several figures from the Elizabethan underworld of spies.
Thanks a lot, I hope you enjoy reading my work!
