Product Description
The Ghosts of Men is the tragic and real life sinister story of two brilliant and very well educated men, who were the Elizabethan Dramatists named Christopher Marlowe and Thomas Kyd, who shared a writing chamber together in London in 591 and wrote their dramatic works. Both were successful even before William Shakespeare reached the peak of his career as a Dramatist.

Thomas Kyd, the son of a Scrivener and Court letter writer, who lived in Lombard Street, London, had attended Merchant Taylor's school in London, and was able to write in several foreign languages. Kyd was the first to be arrested on 12th May 1593 and he was tortured at Newgate prison in London, concerning his dramatic works. Kyd's his co-writer, Christopher Marlowe (a dear friend of Sir Walter Raleigh), meanwhile was arrested and kept under house arrest at the home of his former patron, Sir Thomas Walsingham, at Scadbury, Chiselhurst on 18th May 1593 and murdered when he went out to supper at Deptford Strand, on 30th May 1593, with Walsingham's servant Ingram Frizer.Both men were accused and examined concerning seditious and heretical writing, but there is more to discover concerning the mystery surrounding Christopher Marlowe's murder, and the reason why his murderer was pardoned by Queen Elizabeth I, after an Inquest into his murder.

William Shakespeare also lived in the Elizabethan era and all three dramatists lived in London and shared fame at the same time, and Kyd and Marlowe probably did know Shakespeare.

For further reading please refer to Hic Jacet (Sir Walter Raleigh 1552-1618) (605 pages) by Barbara O'Sullivan (isbn 978-0-9559912-4-0) and The King's Quinto (Sir Walter Raleigh 15521618) (203 pages) Barbara O'Sullivan (isbn 978-09559761-7.

One play in particular is brought to light, being the play Sir Thomas More, and it is likely that Thomas Kyd was one of the authors listed as the five dramatists who wrote the play, although William Shakespeare was commonly thought to be the author. The play sir Thomas More is accepted as the only literary manuscript to survive from the pen of England’s greatest playwright and is known as Harley MS 7368, and this could be the reason why Thomas Kyd's life was cut short after his torture, and his dramatic works were confiscated by the Star Chamber of Queen Elizabeth's government. It is also to be remembered that there was no copyright in Elizabethan times.

By 30th May 1593 Christopher Marlowe was dead at the age of 29, and his co-writer Kyd was buried on 15th August 1594 at the age of 36.
