The
Friday Morning Lecture Series presents:  The
Marlowe-Shakespeare Connectionwith Dr. Samuel L. Blumenfeld Friday, February 11, 2011 at 10 a.m. in the McCarthy Meeting Room  Dr.
Blumenfeld will be addressing the long-standing debate over the Shakespeare
authorship problem. He offers a daring solution: that the true author of
the works attributed to Shakespeare was in fact poet and playwright Christopher
Marlowe. In his book, Dr. Blumenfeld suggests that Marlowe, supposedly killed
in a tavern brawl in 1593, actually faked his own death in order to save
himself from an inquisition and certain execution, then continued writing
under the pseudonym of William Shakespeare. Come decide what side of the
debate you are on.Dr. Blumenfeld is the author of many books on education and literacy and lives in Waltham, MA. Since the publication of his book, "The Marlowe-Shakespeare Connection," a new blog has been created on the authorship controversy: The Marlowe-Shakespeare Connection blog. |
