Elizabethan period

elizabethan period

The Elizabethan era is the epoch in the Tudor period of the history of England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1558–1603). The symbol of Britannia (a female personification of Great Britain) was first used in 1572 to mark the Elizabethan age as a renaissance that inspired national pride through classical ideals, international expansion, and naval triumph over Spain. The period is often referred to as a ‘Golden Age’ of history: England became a major European power in politics, exploration, trade and the arts.

william shakespeare

William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616) was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. Shakespeare's sonnets generally focus on the themes of love and life. His plays have been translated into every major living language. Shakespeare's first plays were written in the conventional style of the day and sometimes he elaborate metaphors and conceits, and the language is often rhetorical.
