Excerpt from Robert Greene The sources of our knowledge and deduction concern ing. Greene's life are of four classes - records, autobio graphical pamphlets and allusions, contemporary refer ences, legends. To the indubitable records belong the university registers, the stationers' registers, and the title pages to his printed books. From the first we learn that Greene was entered 'as a sizar at St John's College, Cambridge, a6th November 1575, that he was admitted to the degree of ba. Some time in 1578, that he proceeded to the degree of m.a., after residence at Clare Hall, Cam bridge, in 1583; from the second we learn that his first book was ti, first part of M amillia, entered for publica tion 3rd October 1580, though not published until 1583, and other facts concerning the time of publication of his successive books and plays; from' the signature to the Maiden's Dream, R. Greene, Nordericensis, and'to the address to Lodge's Euphues Shadow, Robert Greene N orfolciensis, we learn that Greene was born in Norfolk. Of a lower order of certainty as to their application to Greene, yet still satisfying the closest scrutiny, is the record in the parish register of St Leonard's, Shoreditch, of the burial of Greene's illegitimate child, Fortunatus Greene, 12th August 1593; and the record in the register of St George, Tombland, uncovered and inter preted by Collins, indicating that the dramatist himself was the second child of Robert Greene, a saddler, and Jane his wife, and was baptised the 1 ith of July 1558.
