Don’t remember the details now, but Shakespeare did plagiarize Marlowe. I wrote a term paper on it over fifty years ago and at the time it took some digging, but the proof was there. Don’t get me wrong, I love Shakespeare and Marlowe as well. Who knows how great he could have been.

Well, I wrote on the same subject about twenty years ago and the then-current science of plagiarism detection, when evaluating the folio of claimed works for word choice and frequency, determined that only Titus possessed aberrant or unique use of language.
