* Very little Shakespearean fiction actually subscribes to any of the standard unorthodox perspectives in the authorship controversy, but often the existence of the controversy is referenced somehow--either by having one of the standard candidates give Shakespeare writing advice, or by coming up with a new (and probably completely absurd) candidate for authorship. |

⚫ | ** Marlowe's death looks like it's important. Shakespeare claims to be Marlowe at a ball where he gets between Lady Viola and her fiancé, so he later ends up thinking that the fiancé had Marlowe killed. It turns out to be a [[Red Herring]]; when Shakespeare shows up at Marlowe's funeral, [[Attending Your Own Funeral|the fiancé's reaction]] inspires the scene with Banquo's ghost in ''[[Macbeth]]''. |

* ''No Bed For Bacon'', a humorous novel that may have inspired ''[[Shakespeare in Love]]'', takes a [[Historical Hilarity]] approach to the period. It makes reference to the authorship controversy by inverting it. Rather than Bacon writing Shakespeare's plays, Shakespeare helps write Bacon's essays in addition to his play-writing work. |
