Without getting too much into the authorship controversy, wasn't it quite
common for Elizabethan playwrights to belong to "lower" social classes?
Marlowe, whose authorship, as far as I know, has not been disputed, was,
after all, a son of a cobbler.

As for "nonentities," I do not think this assessment is fair to Roman
Jakobson.
