The Protestant/Catholic divide was settled, for a time, by the

12. Elizabeth's England Elizabeth’s reign was an age of exploration—exploration of the world, exploration Many elizabethans also perceived duplications in the chain of order. http://www.bard.org/Education/Shakespeare/ElizabethEngland.html

Elizabeth's England In his entire career, William Shakespeare never once set a play in Elizabethan England. His characters lived in medieval England ( Richard II ), France ( As You Like It ), Vienna ( Measure for Measure ), fifteenth-century Italy ( Romeo and Juliet Henry VIII Elizabethan England was a time for heroes. The ideal man was a courtier, an adventurer, a fencer with the skill of Tybalt, a poet no doubt better than Orlando, a conversationalist with the wit of Rosalind and the eloquence of Richard II, and a gentleman. In addition to all this, he was expected to take the time, like Brutus, to examine his own nature and the cause of his actions and (perhaps unlike Brutus) to make the right choices. The real heroes of the age did all these things and more. Despite the greatness of some Elizabethan ideals, others seem small and undignified, to us; marriage, for example, was often arranged to bring wealth or prestige to the family, with little regard for the feelings of the bride. In fact, women were still relatively powerless under the law.

The overview to this topic discusses the ways in which Elizabethans used encounters with other cultures as a means of defining themselves. Often, the resulting definitions were unstable at best. Explore this idea more fully by going to Web resources that focus on sixteenth-century exploration. You might begin with the excellent online exhibition Cultural Readings: Colonization and Print in the Americas (University of Pennsylvania Library). European travellers to non-Christian countries were often quick to interpret unfamiliar customs and religious practices as evidence of devil worship. We find this charge made by John de Léry and Ralph Fitch against the Brazilians and Indians, respectively. The accusation of Satanism might seem to make the "other" even more alien. Yet, paradoxically, it could also make these peoples seem more familiar, by situating their customs within a Christian/European framework.

Unlocking Shakespeare's Meaning: A Look at Verse, Background, Character, and Plot in Twelfth Night Susan Ehlers Duhon GENERAL INTRODUCTION At the beginning of each fall semester, the literary study for eighth grade English begins with an intensive study of Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story, The Maypole of Merry Mount . A little known story, it nevertheless serves as an early introduction for the skills and background for a final nine-week unit on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. The Hawthorne story's characters are vagabonds, street performers, perhaps those from the Elizabethan underworld, disillusioned English transported to America by their desire for a better life. In the seventeenth century Massachusetts colony of Merry Mount, which was dissolved quickly by Miles Standish and the Puritans, echoes of life in Shakespeare's England reverberate. Students produce the story as a play, and six months later these eighth graders return to Shakespeare's English to study and perform scenes from Twelfth Night. Teaching Shakespeare to eighth graders was a formidable task I would not have undertaken even five years ago. I rationalized that thirteen year olds lacked the background, the language skills, and the life experiences necessary for understanding and appreciating Shakespeare's plays. It was late one summer night, however, upon leaving a performance of

Film Reviews Elizabeth and a weakened historical sense A review by David Walsh Elizabeth , directed by Shekhar Kapur, written by Michael Hirst 3 December 1998 The story of Elizabeth I of England (1533-1603) is a remarkable one. Here is a woman not merely surviving in a cruel and treacherous age, but leaving her mark on one of the most extraordinary periods in English and modern world history. While the social struggle is the driving force of historical development, human beings are not thereby turned into ciphers, passive and anonymous "expressions" of class interests. What individuals do at critical moments has consequences. So Elizabeth intrigues us. It is natural that artists, as well as historians, should desire to explore her motives, her interests, her feelings. And there is the more general fascination with the English Renaissance and its exceptional array of personalities: Elizabeth's longtime adviser William Cecil (later Lord Burghley), the philosopher and statesman Francis Bacon, the adventurer and poet Walter Raleigh, the admiral and explorer Francis Drake, the poet, courtier, soldier and statesman Philip Sidney, the dramatist and poet Ben Jonson, the dramatist and poet Christopher Marlowe, and countless othersscientists, mathematicians, composers. And, above all, in the latter part of Elizabeth's reign, William Shakespeare. Each exploration of this age is at least in part an attempt to come to terms with, if not offer an explanation for, Shakespeare's personality and genius.
