Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anne’s home, now known as Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, still stands in the village of Shottery. From 1585 until 1592, very little is known about Shakespeare. These are generally referred to as ‘The Lost Years’.

Detailed explanation-2: -But regarding the man himself, there is a gap in the timeline scholars have constructed – a seven-year period during which we know nothing at all about where he was and what he was doing, although there is much, unsupported, conjecture about it. Those years have been labeled ‘the lost years.

Detailed explanation-3: -After the birth of the twins, there are seven years of Shakespeare’s life where no records exist. Scholars call this period the “lost years, ” and there is wide speculation on what he was doing during this period.

Detailed explanation-4: -We do know that Shakespeare’s life revolved around two locations: Stratford and London. He grew up, had a family, and bought property in Stratford, but he worked in London, the center of English theater. As an actor, a playwright, and a partner in a leading acting company, he became both prosperous and well-known.
