The Christopher Marlowe canon comprises fifteen works. Two of the plays came after his death and are not recorded as having been staged earlier. Both show strong signs of Shakespeare’s manner. A statistical test supports the case that Oxford wrote one of these plays and contributed heavily to the other. A third play in Marlowe’s name was augmented, according to scholars, by an unknown contributor, who also may have been Oxford. Distinct differences between the styles of Shakespeare and Marlowe are explored and demonstrated. Orthodox critics’ assessments are cited to support each case.
