She also fails to admit just how tenuous her theory is, since there are no formal historical documents to support it. She has intelligent things to say about Raleigh and Marlowe's poetry in respect to their intellectual interests, but her obvious disdain for Chapman detracts from the whole work. The theory in this book is mainly argued through poetic use and form, which up to a point is Bradbrook's strength. This group may have also include Christopher Marlowe, George Chapman, Thomas Hariot and Giordano Bruno, the last two being the brightest lights, arguably, of their era. This is sort of a foundational text for the School of Night theory - that there was a coterie group of poets, thinkers and nobles centred around Sir Walter Raleigh in late Elizabethan times.
