Queen Elizabeth I’s reign still baffles many modern-day scholars.
The Elizabethan period was very progressive and revolutionary.
The English Renaissance was at its peak,
and the arts - poetry, literature, music, theatre -
became very important.
The major events - the conflict between
the Catholics and Protestants, the English Reformation,
and the battles between the monarchy and the parliament -
were remarkably put at rest during Queen
Elizabeth's reign (National Endowment for the Arts, n.d.).
London’s economy also thrived because it became
the commercial and cultural center of England.
Theaters were built for the first time in England,
and the works of many famous playwrights were shown.
Attracting more than 15, 000 people weekly, the theater was a huge success.
Also, many of the great literary and dramatic devices we
know of today came about during this time, including the blank verse.
Amongst others who thrived during this time period was
William Shakespeare (National Endowment for the Arts, n.d.).
