What is the period of shakespeares life between 1585 and 1592 called why?

The period between 1585 and 1592 in Shakespeare's life is called his 'lost years' or 'dark years' because there is very little documented evidence about what he was doing during this time. Some possible reasons for this lack of information include:

- He may have been travelling, either in England or abroad.

- He may have been working as a tutor or secretary for a wealthy family.

- He may have been involved in theatrical activities, such as acting or writing plays, but there is no concrete evidence to support this.

The only known facts about Shakespeare's life during this period are that he married Anne Hathaway in 1582 and that they had three children together: Susanna in 1583, and twins Hamnet and Judith in 1585.
