Best Answer

A number of important things happened in Shakespeare's life during the 1590's. He began to be noticed as a playwright in 1592. He became well-known for his erotic poem Venus and Adonis which was printed in 1593. In 1594 he became one of the Charter members of the Lord Chamberlain's Men, an acting group which he stayed with for the rest of his career. In 1596 his 11 year old son Hamnet died. The years that followed saw the writing of his most important comic plays: the two parts of Henry IV, As You Like It, Much Ado About Nothing and possibly Twelfth Night. In 1599 he became a minor shareholder in The Globe Theatre.
