  OUTLINES OF ENGLISH AND AMERICAN LITERATURE : THE ELIZABETHAN AGE (1550-1620)
For it was in the latter part of Elizabeth's reign that England found herself as a nation, and became conscious of her destiny as a world empire.
We are to remember the patriotic enthusiasm of the age, overlooking the frequent despotism of "good Queen Bess" and entering into the spirit of national pride and power that thrilled all classes of Englishmen during her reign, if we are to understand the outburst of Elizabethan literature.
Next to the patriotic spirit of Elizabethan literature, its most notable qualities are its youthful freshness and vigor, its romantic spirit, its absorption in the theme of love, its extravagance of speech, its lively sense of the wonder of heaven and earth.
