Chinese Authorship Debate Dream of the Red Chamber
Dream of Red Chamber 紅樓夢 • One of China's four great classical novels. • Written by Cao Xueqin in the middle of the 18th century during the early Qing Dynasty. • 80 Chapters in original manuscript copies. • Gao E and Cheng Weiyuan added 40 additional chapters to complete the novel.
Who Wrote Shakespeare’s Plays? • Both Marlowe and Shakespeare had births recorded in 1564. • Before Shakespeare’s name became widely known, Marlowe had already produced several major works in various genres, including Tamburlaine the Great and Dr. Faustus. • Marlowe’s career tragically ended on 30 May, 1593 when he was apparently murdered in a dispute.
The Murder of The Man Who Was Shakespeare – Calvin Hoffman • Shakespeare did not visit some places which vividly appeared in scenes of Shakespeare’s plays. • Shakespeare seems to suddenly appear after Marlowe’s death. • Marlowe had not died as claimed in 1593, but instead escaped to a secret refuge in Italy where he spent the rest of his life writing the body of plays generally attributed to Shakespeare.
