A.D. "Dolly" Wraight and Peter Farey
Peter Farey was a close affiliate of A.D. Wraight's, both co-researching and writing much of Part Two of Shakespeare: New Evidence. Part Two concentrates on Monsieur Le Doux who may have been one of Christopher Marlowe's aliases while in exile. Since this book was published, Peter Farey has written two essays which offer more of his thoughts on the possibility Marlowe went under the name Louis Le Doux post exile.
