A lot of our information about Shakespeare's life comes from government and church records: records of baptisms, tax records, court records, the records of the Heraldry department, records of the Master of the Revels office, the Probate Office and that sort of thing. Personal diaries and account books occasionally give us a little information about the plays and their performance, but not usually much about Shakespeare himself. Surveys of the literature of the time, like Francis Meres' Pallaidis Tamia, or the Parnassus plays, confirm Shakespeare's place in the theatrical scene but do not tell us much about him personally.
