There is a reference to it in 1593, so we know it was before that date. Scholars speculate that it may have been written some time in the 1580's

Did Christopher Marlowe write Shakespeare plays?

No one knows for sure it is highly disputed however personly i belive it to be a conspiracy. It seems very unlikely considering the fact that Marlowe was killed in 1593, before the vast majority of Shakespeare's plays were written.

Did william shakespeare write the first stage play?

No, of course not. They were writing stage plays in ancient Greece 2000 years before Shakespeare. The Romans wrote plays as well. Shakespeare was not even the first English playwright. Not counting Morality plays such as Everyman, which were written centuries before, plays like Ralph Roister Doister, Gammer Gurton's Needle and Gorboduc were written when Shakespeare was a child. The entire theatrical output of Christopher Marlowe, an undeniably great playwright whose plays are performed even nowadays, was written before Shakespeare had written anything of significance.

Why did Sir Walter Raleigh write 'The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd'?

I am doing a thesis on Elizabethan Poets and their work on the Brevity of Life. Therefore I have studied Sir Walter Raleigh's poem, and Christopher Marlowe's poem 'The Passionate Shepherd to his Love' I do not know what you have been told about the poem, but this is what I think you need to know. SWR's poem is a reply, literally a reply, to another poem written at the same time by Christopher Marlowe called 'The Passionate Shepherd to his Love' I seriously suggest you read it if you haven't, it makes SWR's poem make alot more sense. SWR was a satyrist, and so he was looking for romantic poems to mock, and having read CM's poem, I think anyone would agree it was an easy target. So really he was simply fulfilling an obligation as a satyrist, and was also furthering his own reputation because the poem was so popular. That is how simple it is really, I cannot see any other reason, he just wanted/had to mock romantic poems and this one CM's poem came along. The only other things to note are that the poem focuses on the brevity of life (as I mentioned earlier) which means it is saying how short life is and how we should live for the moment (also referred to as Carpe Diem)
