A DECEPTION
IN DEPTFORD

Christopher Marlowe's alleged death


is investigated

 by Peter Farey





And new evidence is presented, which shows:

  • that Marlowe was very probably still alive two years after his supposed 
death in May 1593,

  • that his survival would have made possible a collaboration explaining the exceptional 
influence Marlowe is said to have had upon the works of Shakespeare,

  • that Marlowe probably played a major part in such a collaboration.
