Hi, Mockingbirdgirl, I'm not talking about a contemporary biography so much as cultural traces--presumeably Shakespeare lived a highly public life among people who tended to scribble things down, and yet there are no marks of a life lived in a social context. There's no gossip--good, bad or indifferent, and I want to know why that is. I'll pay.

Well, both Robert Greene and Ben Johnson mentioned him -- the former offering criticism, the latter praise. So that's two people who "scribbled things down" about him... but yes, about his writing, not his "social context" (though I'm honestly not sure what that means).
