Whenever I teach Shakespeare, the controversy of authorship always plays a part in our background information. Was Shakespeare, the man born in Stratford-upon-Avon, the author of his magnificent plays, or was this a pen name for an author or a group of authors wanting anonymity? Well, no matter what side of the debate you would like to believe, Oxford University Press has officially credited Christopher Marlowe as co-author of three plays! Holy Elizabethan England!
