O Brave New World...

I'm looking forward to reading the sexuality section, presumably about Shakespeare's long infatuation with the Earl of Southampton and with some "dark lady". I... I know he's not magically and mysteriously "universal" and out of his time... but I guess I do think he thought much more reflectively and with nuance about the social and political mores of his time, and different social locations, from race to gender to religion, than many of his contemporaries. No?

I don't know much more than the mythos of Marlowe -- have you read any of his works? What do you think of him?
