Early life
Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon on 26 April 1564 and his father was John Shakespeare who was a respected middle class. We don't know more about his adolescence, but he married 26-year-old Anne Hathaway at the age of 18 and had three children.
Because of there is few historical traces between 1585 - 1592 that scholars called it "Shakespeare's lost years". Until he is mentioned as part of the London theatre scene in 1592.
