The period of time between 1585-1592 in William Shakespeare's life is called the "Second Lost Years". It was called this due to the lack of documentation about his life during that time. This period of time was roughly after the birth of his twins, Judith and Hamnet, up until he moved to London. Shakespeare's "First Lost Years"(1578-1582) took place shortly after his completion of school until his marriage to Anne Hathaway. Nobody really knows what happened during this time but some historians believe that he took up more work to help support his family. He could have been a teacher, a farmer, a moneylender or even a glover like his father. Unfortunately, nobody owns any records of what took place during these times, therefore, they are called his "Lost Years".
