Not so much known about the ‘spy’ bit, I gather, but aspects of his comings and goings and the people he met strongly point to it. My sincere condolences.Ĭhristopher Marlowe was so many things: a Man-about-town (London) with various acquaintances in high society and in low (very low) a playwright who brought the pentameter line to heights only equalled by his great successor, never surpassed poet too with at least one poem that will never lose its place in the anthologies (‘Come Live with Me and Be My Love…’).
