The Assassination of Christopher Marlowe (A New View)

** "The Assassination of Christopher Marlowe (A New View)" by Samuel A. Tannenbaum is a historical investigation into the death of Christopher Marlowe and the possibility that it may have been planned. The book analyzes the events around Marlowe’s death in 1593, and the accusations of heresy against Marlowe made by Thomas Kyd. Tannenbaum suggests Marlowe’s killing was not accidental, but a murder due to political issues and people like Sir Walter Raleigh. The author uses documents and accounts from that time to support the idea that Marlowe was silenced because he knew secrets that threatened powerful people. The book describes a world full of political games and deception during England’s Elizabethan era. **
