Annie Doris ("Dolly") Walker-Wraight (24 April 1920 in Java – 15 February 2002) was a British school teacher and writer, notable for her support of Marlovian theory, the view that Christopher Marlowe was the true author of Shakespeare's works. ==Life== She married Robert Wraight in 1940 (they divorced in 1963). She earned the Froebel Teachers Diploma in 1958 and worked as a teacher at Dulwich College Preparatory School (1961–1967; 1975–1983) and at the William Tyndale Junior School in Islington, London, (1969–1974). She played a significant role at the start of the educational scandal at the William Tyndale, which culminated in a formal public enquiry in 1975. Her interest in Marlowe began in 1955 when the American writer Calvin Hoffman, who popularized the Marlovian theory, published his book ''The man who was Shakespeare''.〔This was first published by Max Parrish, London, in 1955, and five years later by Julian Messner in New York as ''The Murder of the Man Who Was Shakespeare''〕 She joined the newly formed Marlowe Society, and began a drama branch to revive the rarely performed plays of Marlowe and his contemporaries. She served variously as the Society's secretary, editor of its newsletter, Vice-Chair and Chair. In 1965, as "A. D. Wraight", she published an illustrated biography: ''In Search of Christopher Marlowe'' (in collaboration with the American photographer, Virginia Stern).〔A. D. Wraight (text) and Virginia Stern (photography). The book was published in 1965 by Macdonald & Co., London, and Vanguard Press, New York City.〕 Dolly Walker-Wraight's research into the Marlovian theory centred on an interpretation of Shakespeare's sonnets in the light of it, and in 1994 her first book openly espousing the theory was published.〔''The Story that the Sonnets Tell'', published by Adam Hart (Publishers), London.〕 She died on 15 February 2002, aged 81. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dolly Walker-Wraight」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
