Summary: "Shakespeare's Lost Years in London, 1586-1592" by Arthur Acheson is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. The work seeks to illuminate a poorly documented period in William Shakespeare's life, particularly focusing on the years leading up to his acclaimed literary success. Acheson explores the connections between Shakespeare, key figures such as the Earl of Southampton, and the theatrical landscape of London during this transformative time. The opening of the book sets the stage by emphasizing the historical gap that exists regarding Shakespeare's early years in London. Acheson discusses the lack of cohesive historical accounts connecting the playwright's work to the vibrant social and political atmosphere of late 16th-century England. He presents a narrative filled with speculation and evidence that aims to reconstruct Shakespeare's relationships with theatre companies and influential patrons, notably suggesting that the Earl of Southampton played a significant role in fostering Shakespeare's career. Acheson also hints at the evolving nature of Shakespeare's plays during this span, indicating a shift from lighter comedies to more serious themes as he matured as a writer.
