Historical Fiction Zeigler, Wilbur Gleason: It Was Marlowe A Story of the Secret of Thre v1.0 04.09.2022

[PointingMonkey]

Wilbur Gleason Zeigler was the founding father of the Marlovian theory to the Shakespeare Authorship Question. The only problem with his theory, Marlowe died at the height of his powers as the leading playwright of the London stage on 30 May 1593, aged only 29. While Shakespeare's career was still in its relative infancy.

It Was Marlowe recounts the true story (shrouded in secrecy for three centuries) of how the events of the night of 30th May 1593, led to the death of Christopher Marlowe, and the birth of William Shakespeare.

Better formatting and proofread against a scan from Internet Archive.

NOTES: Appendix note 32 appears in the appendix, but no reference is made within either the gutenberg text or the scanned internet archive copy. For the life of me I can't see where it should be referenced.

Shakespeare is also spelt 'Shakespere' in the scanned copy, so I left that intact.
