Try the links below, please. A sample:

"The first attempts at biographical research were not begun until over a half a century after Shakespeare's death, and are therefore not based on first-hand accounts. Few biographies, even of the famous, were written during the period, and (though it may seem odd to us) drama was not considered serious literature at the time--so dramatists in general were not considered worth writing about.

In addition, the theatres were closed by the puritans in 1642, 36 years after Shakespeare's death, with the result that many records and manuscripts were lost.

Nonetheless, there are a surprising number of facts we know about Shakespeare and his theatrical enterprises, and there are additional inferences we can make on the basis of the lives of similar people. Then there are of course the legends that gather around any famous person."
