问题    The long-held suggestion that Christopher Marlowe was William Shakespeare is now widely dismissed, along with other authorship theories. But Marlowe is enjoying the next best thing—taking centre stage alongside his great Elizabethan rival with a credit as co-writer of the three Henry VI plays.
   The two dramatists will appear jointly on each of the three title pages of the plays within the New Oxford Shakespeare, a landmark project to be published by Oxford University Press this month.
   【F1】Using old-fashioned scholarship and 21st-century computerised tools to analyse texts, the edition’s international scholars have contended that Shakespeare’s collaboration with other playwrights was far more extensive than has been realised until now.
   【F2】The life of Christopher Marlowe has long been studied carefully for evidence that he wrote a handful of William Shakepeare’s works. The scholar JB Steane said in 1969 there were so many rumours it would be absurd to dismiss them all as part of the "Marlowe Myth".
   Few undisputed facts exist about the playwright’s life, but he was baptised in Canterbury on 26 February 1564. The son of a shoemaker, Marlowe attended the King’s school in Canterbury before being awarded a scholarship to Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, where he received his BA degree in 1584.
   【F3】Marlowe took lengthy absences and the university was about to refuse him a master’s degree when, in 1587, the Privy Council (美国枢密院) wrote to compliment his "good service" to the Queen on "matters touching the benefit of his country". The letter prompted the theory that he had been a secret agent for Elizabeth I’s "spymaster", Sir Francis Walsingham.
   His plays were wildly popular for the brief period that he was on the Elizabethan literary scene. 【F4】His death in May 1593, aged 29, has provoked years of speculation, from the Queen ordering his assassination because of his atheism (无神论), to his being killed by a love rival.
   In 1925, the scholar Leslie Hotson published the coroner’s report in his book The Death of Christopher Marlowe. Witnesses testified that he was stabbed in the eye during a fight over payment of a bill and died instantly. 【F5】The document did not end speculation, with some supporting the theory that the dramatist faked his death and continued to write as Shakespeare.
【F2】
