Christopher Marlowe When authorities came the news that the playwright Christopher Marlowe is found dead in a tavern three miles from London, the cause announced immediately — the usual drunken fight over bills. Marlo or did not want to pay, then claimed that he cheated. With it once has happened just such a story, and version, with its repetition seemed quite convincing. The name of the dead man, meanwhile, rattled the capital. Marlowe was the first great dramatist of the time of Queen Elizabeth, his "Tamerlane" shook the audience, and the following works have established the glory. Shakespeare learned from Marlowe, competed with him. They were born the same year, 1564, but Marlowe had a strong advantage — masters degree in Cambridge.

Defoe set off at once in two adventure — trade and political journalism. The first brought about his ruin, the second in 1703 to jail. To his rescue came Robert Harley, first Earl of Oxford and Earl Mortimer. Assessing political enemy's mind, Hurley decided to buy it. Defoe was a secret agent of the government and the tories, of course, their best acquisition.
With the participation of Defoe was an important event in history — the Union of England and Scotland in the UK. In Edinburgh, Defoe was able to infiltrate a counselor in key organs of the country — the Church and the Parliament. He discredited prostredky figures gave false predictions was distributing pamphlets on behalf of ordinary Scots podtasovyvaya public opinion. "I am dedicated in all their stupidity and absolutely above suspicion about correspondence with anyone in England," he wrote to Harley in London. The exposure, undoubtedly, would be Defoe's death. His espionage activities, however, contributed to the development of British literature: experiences from public life enriched Defoe as a writer, and that he was honored to bring the genre of the novel to a new level.
