We know so much about William Shakespeare, and yet we know so little.

Through documents public and private, we know that indeed Shakespeare did exist; we know about his family (his father, for instance, was a once-prominent leather worker in Stratford); we know he married a woman, Anne Hathaway, who was eight years older and who gave birth six months after their marriage; we know they had three children and their only son died at age 11; we know Shakespeare acted in his own plays and those of others; we know of his real estate dealings.
