School of Night, a name drawn from a satirical allusion in
Love's Labour's Lost (
iv. iii. 214), and first ascribed by Arthur Acheson in 1903 (
Shakespeare and the Rival Poet) to a supposed circle of speculative thinkers led by
Harriot and
Ralegh, and including
Marlowe,
Chapman, Lawrence Keymis, and the ‘Wizard Earl’ Northumberland. J. Dover
Wilson, G. B.
Harrison in his edition of
Willobie his Avisa (1926), and M. C. Bradbrook in
The School of Night (1936) supported the theory that
Love's Labour's Lost was an attack upon this coterie, which engaged in free-thinking philosophical debate (not necessarily atheistic) and dabbled in hermeticism, alchemy, and the occult. The existence of such a circle is now widely disputed.
