Christopher Marlowe
Although all three were poets writing at about the same time, Donne never wrote plays. Marlowe and Shakespeare did. Marlowe and Shakespeare were the same age, but Marlowe died at a very young age, so the body of work which he produced was written in a very short time. Marlowe did not have the chance to mature. Shakespeare, on the other hand, was writing for 25 years and his work matured as he wrote. Unlike Marlowe, but like Donne, he grappled with darker issues in a deeper way.
Actually Marlowe was not a rival to Shakespeare. This is because although the two men were born in the same year, Marlowe died in a bar fight in 1593, when he was only twenty-nine. Shakespeare, on the other hand, had only just begun his writing career in 1593 and none of his work had been published at the time of Marlowe's death. Shakespeare revered Marlowe's work, and modeled some of his own writing on his predecessor's. But Marlowe's unsurprisingly small body of work displays much less variety than Shakespeare's did, as Shakespeare had a twenty-five-year writing career in which to expand his talents, whereas all of Marlowe's work was written in a six-year period.
Christopher Marlowe was a famous English playwright who died in 1593 at about the same time as Shakespeare's first works came out. Some historians believe in the Marlovian theory, which suggests that Marlowe faked his death and began writing under the name William Shakespeare. However, most do not; Shakespeare was already writing before Marlowe's death and had a different style, and the coroner's records are quite clear that Marlowe died of a knife in the eye. Pretty hard to fake that. Shakespeare (like most theatre people of the day) was a Marlowe fan, and made occasional references to his work.
Galileo and Christopher Marlowe
Nothing. Shakespeare started writing before Marlowe died.
Christopher Marlowe was a playwright and poet, a contemporary of William Shakespeare's. (They were both born in 1564) Marlowe was famous for his plays Doctor Faustus and Tamburlaine. More recently his historical play Edward II has become more appreciated. Marlowe did not invent the idea of writing dialogue in blank verse, but he wrote more beautiful blank verse for his plays than any of his predecessors. Marlowe is also famous for his poem "A Passionate Shepherd to his Love"
