Summary

"It Was Marlowe: A Story of the Secret of Three Centuries" by Wilbur Gleason Zeigler is a historical fiction set in Elizabethan England during a time of great social change. The story follows Christopher Marlowe, a well-known playwright, in June 1593, as London is gripped by the plague. A chance meeting with a young man named Tabbard sparks conversations about Lady Anne and a possible love affair. As Marlowe manages his career as a playwright and actor, whispers of his scandalous reputation and approaching danger begin to swirl. Through Tabbard's updates and Marlowe's secret meeting with Anne, hidden truths come to light, creating a story full of mystery, love, and the darkness of Marlowe's past, setting the scene for a story that hints at a more in-depth analysis of the trials and tribulations Marlowe faced during this era.
