Early life
Lost years
After the birth of the twins, save for being
party to a lawsuit to recover part of his
mother's estate which had been
mortgaged and lost by default,
Shakespeare left no historical traces until
he is mentioned as part of the London
theatrical scene. Indeed, the seven-year
period between 1585 (when his twin
children were born) and 1592 (when
Robert Greene called him an "upstart
crow") is known as Shakespeare's "lost
years" because no evidence has survived
to show exactly where he was or why he
left Stratford for London.[15] However, it is
certain that before Greene’s attack
Shakespeare had acquired a reputation
as an actor and burgeoning
playwright.[16]

that "any attempt to interpret the passage
is guesswork, and no more". It has also
been suggested that the word "bear"
(spelled "beare" in the original) was
intended for "bar" - meaning that Greene
would not be able to stop the enclosure.
