His father, John, was a maker of gloves and a trader in farm produce. John also held a number of responsible positions in

Stratford's government and served as mayor in 1569.

believed that he had to discontinue his education at about thirteen in order to financially help his father. At eighteen he married Ann Hathaway. They had three children, Susanna,

Hamnet, and Judith. He was almost the only great writer of this period who did not have a university education. Shakespeare’s characters seak

the same language as the audienceBlack period (1598-1607)Most of Shakespeare’s great tragedies were written in these

years.Little is known about his own life.

Several plays produced at the end of Elizabeth's reign are often grouped as Shakespeare's "problem plays." They are not easily categorized as either tragedies or comedies. All's Well That Ends Well (1602) is a romantic comedy with qualities that seem bitter to many critics because it presents romantic relations between men and women in a harsh light. Troilus and Cressida (1602), is a brilliant, sardonic (skeptically humorous), and disillusioned piece on the Trojan War. Measure for Measure (1604) focuses on the link between political power and romantic desire.

JacobeanJonson’s best works are mostly Jacobean

Elizabethan Drama (1558 – 1603) and Jacobean Drama

The Golden Age of English Drama produced many great plays and playwrights. The nature of human life was a new theme in literature, and showed the

Renaissance concern with a how to understand life and death in the modern world. Religion no longer gave the answer as it had done in earlier periods of literature. The literature itself questions, discusses and looks for answers. It’s

called elizabethan.After the death of Queen Elizabeth in 1603, the plays written during James VI of Scotland became King James I of England

are called Jacobean

Richard Hooker (15547-1600): the Laws of Ecclesiastical Policy is the greatest of the non-fictional prose works of the Elizabethan age.Bacon (1561-1626):

his style coupe or anti-Ciceronian style is exactly opposite to Hooker's Ciceronian style
