Christopher Marlowe (Canterbury, baptized February 26, 1564 - + Deptford, May 30, 1593) was an English playwright, poet, and translator of the Elizabethan Period. He popularized white verse by incorporating it into his theater. It is considered like the great predecessor of Shakespeare; in fact, there is a debate about his authorship in several works of the Bardo. Christopher Marlowe was born in Canterbury. The son of a shoemaker, he studied at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge and obtained his Bachelor of Arts in 1584. He continued his studies at Cambridge, but in 1587 he was denied a bachelor's degree by university authorities due to his long absences and rumor, according to which, Marlowe would have converted to Catholicism and would have traveled to Reims in order to prepare his priesthood. However, they received an order from the Queen's private Council in their favor, praising him for his fidelity and services to the Queen: ... On his journey to Rheims he made no such attempt but instead was at the command and at the service of the queen ... such a rumor should be silenced by all possible means ... It is not to the queen's liking that he who has been dedicated to the service of his country is slandered by those who do not know the extremes that have had busy.
