eghuan1:Those are conspiracy theories. No one knows for sure. He was unknown when Marlowe ruled and after that his disappearance(Marlowe was hit with a bottle in a beer parlour. That was the story put out) W.S surfaced. But a black woman? I don't think so. And considering the time, it stripes the narrative of credence. What is a black woman doing in England in the 16th century? Then, slavery has not happened and even if it is happening, when did she master meters and trochaic to that extent when it was a crime to even give a black person an education? Yeah. Their were crackers. When Black people kept white slaves we intermixed but that was over 30 centuries. It wasn't just some five century ago. The story doesn't have any base to stand on. On maybe I'm making an argument without understanding what was said or presented. Tell me, what exactly was the argument? How did they link it? |

Shakespeare my man. If you did literature and you didn't fall in love with Shakespeare's works, is that one literature. Literature begins and end with Shakespeare. 1 Like |

You guys are missing something here! The conspiracy of Christopher Marlow is a minor one. The major and most widely accepted conspiracy theory was that his plays were originally written by the great British Philosopher Francis Bacon. If you are not familiar with Francis Bacon, then you need to do a quick research on him. Post No Bill. |

eghuan1:I think it's purely a confusion of metaphor for denotative language. I think when Shakespeare spoke of the Dark Lady in his Sonnets, that is, the beggetter of his poems, it was confused for a black skin lady. After making a little research, these are my findings. First, she's not white but a Jewish, and she's not dark either. She's a writer too with similar writing content, not style, as W.S. She is the first woman to write something in England. She's a feminist, a stage performer and teacher. https://www.snopes.com/amelia-bassano-william-shakespeare/ https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/john-hudson/shakespeares-dark-lady-amelia-bassano-lanier/ My inference. If she was black she wouldn't have been allowed to publish a book in the England of that time. If she was black she wouldn't be allowed into the schools to teach anyone or on stage to address any audience. Even Michael Jackson, in the 80s, had to change skin colour. I think the confusion comes from the fact that she's not 'so white'. She's not white and her colour was a bit tanned like that of Barack Obama. More like the face of the Singer Jennifer Lopez. The name W.S could have been anything, but left to me, if there's anyone that fits the profile, it is that muse, agnostic and nonconformist, Christopher Marlowe. It is not Amelia Bassano Lanier. 2 Likes |

MISSCONGENIALITY: And anything done by a black person had to be presented u ser a white person. No black man/woman was allowed to stand in society a success under their own name esp a back person could not patent anything. Most black discoveries had to be introduced into white society by a white man as the creator 1 Like |

Ranchhoddas:If you get poetry you will get him. The bard was a master in that field and used it to communicate meanings. Just try writing ten lines of Iambic Tetrameters and tell how long it took you. Rhythm was his thing. I don't think he's overrated, I only think he's projected as the peak of literary writing. I don't think there's a peak. |
