After the birth of the twins, there are few historical traces of Shakespeare until he is mentioned as part of the London theatre scene in 1592. Because of this gap, scholars refer to the years between 1585 and 1592 as Shakespeare's "lost years".[/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/l%20cite_note-17][u][size=21][color:671d=#0000ff][18][/u][/color][/size][/url][size=21] Biographers attempting to account for this period have reported many [/size][url=http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/apocryphal][u][size=21][color:671d=#0000ff]apocryphal[/u][/color][/size][/url][size=21] stories.
