There has been a discussion for nearly 200 years about 325 lines in the quarto edition of Kyd's "The Spanish Tragedy " (1592) which are thought to be by Shakespeare . The discussion recently has received considerable public attention. ( -->the guardian , ---> New York Times)
How can one imagine such an "intimate " theatre collaboration between Shakespeare
and Thomas Kyd , when personal links between the two poets have never been
established. - The opposite is the case for Marlowe and Kyd: for two years before [1591] they had written together in a single room. (From Thomas Kyd interrogations:1593)

How can one not consider that Marlowe ( when he was still alive "officially" in 1592 ) would not have been the co-author with Kyd of "The Spanish Tragedy"?.
