Seven Lost Years and Robert Greene

Background

1. Archetypal Robert Greene

(S. Schoenbaum)

With [Robert] Greene we cannot always separate fact from fiction in the fantasias he composed on autobiographical themes, or the legend made of him by his contemporaries.  The pattern of his life – necessarily pieced together from the testimony of biased witnesses – assumes the lineaments of archetype.

[…]

[One] evening he over-indulged in Rhenish wine and pickled herrings, and this excess brought on his last illness.  He was then lodged with his mistress, ‘a sorry ragged quean’, and their bastard in the house of a shoemaker of Dowgate, one Isam, and his wife.  For a month Greene lingered in squalor, deserted by friends but attended by a troop of lice.  Mrs. Isam gave him the penny-pot of malmsey he pitifully begged, while Gabriel Harvey exulted in the downfall of the wicked:

In extreme persecution, the seat of the Holy Roman Church will be occupied by Peter the Roman, who will feed the sheep through many tribulations; when they are over, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the terrible or fearsome Judge will judge his people. The End.

4. Seven Lost Years

(Wikipedia)

… Indeed, the seven-year period between 1585 … and 1592 … is known as Shakespeare‘s „lost years“ because no evidence has survived to show exactly where he was or why he left Stratford for London.  However, it is certain that before Greene’s attack Shakespeare had acquired a reputation as an actor and burgeoning playwright.
