	Condemnation of the Elizabethan Theater
		E come again to a period when the influence of the Church was arrayed against the theater; and this time its efforts towards its suppression were markedly successful.

	Elizabethan England - MSN Encarta

		Elizabethans had a very strong sense of social order: they believed that their queen was God's representative on Earth, and that God had created and blessed the ranks of society, from the monarch down through the nobility, gentry, merchants, and labourers.
		Elizabethans considered families to be a model for the rest of their society: ordered, standardized, and with a strict sense of hierarchy.

	Elizabethan Period
		In the medieval period drama was an integral element in the structure of society.
		However, Elizabethan noblemen wore their hats indoors, so when Hamlet tells Osric, the foppish courtier, to put his bonnet back on, he is showing that Osric is being ridiculously respectful in keeping his hat off in front of Hamlet.
		In the Elizabethan theatre, this distinction did not exist, and for two reasons: first, performances took place in the open air and in daylight which illuminated everyone equally; secondly, the spectators were all around the stage (and wealthier spectators actually on it), and were dressed no differently to the actors, who wore contemporary dress.

	English Literature
		Behind the Elizabethan vogue for pastoral poetry lies the fact of the prosperity of the enclosing sheep farmer, who aggressively sought to increase pasture at the expense of the peasantry.
		The groundwork was laid in the 30 years from 1550, a period of slowly increasing confidence in the literary competence of the language and tremendous advances in education, which for the first time produced a substantial English readership, keen for literature and possessing cultivated tastes.
		The period's major project was A Mirror for Magistrates (1559; enlarged editions 1563, 1578, 1587), a collection of verse laments, by several hands, purporting to be spoken by participants in the Wars of the Roses and preaching the Tudor doctrine of obedience.

	Elizabethan Theatre - A Lecture - by Thomas Larque (2001)
		Elizabethan Theatre, therefore, demanded that an actor be able to play numerous roles and make it obvious to the audience by changes in his acting style and costume that he was a new person each time.
		Elizabethan costuming seems to have been a strange combination of what was (for the Elizabethans) modern dress, and costumes which - while not being genuinely historically or culturally accurate - had a historical or foreign flavour.
		Elizabethan actors carried flaming torches to indicate that a scene was taking place at night, but this would have made little difference to the actual lighting of the stage, and spectators simply had to use their imagination.

	Elizabethan Era Furniture
		The Elizabethan age is most famous for, of course, its theater, hair styles, dress and fashion, music, but it is the furniture of the Elizabethan period that holds our interest presently.
		The design and plans of Elizabethan era houses and homes saw the traditionally dominant role played by the hall in medieval and tudor homes come to decline with its place being taken by long galleries which were used for playing games and strolling along.
		The Elizabethan era, or as some would have it, Elisabethan, of English furniture history saw a gradual absorption of the Gothic tradition, dominant in the tudor furniture period, into a native English version of the Renaissance movement, particularly that part of the Renaissance as had developed in Holland, Germany, and the Flemish lands.

		The Elizabethan style coincides with the final settlement of the Reformation by Elizabeth, the patriotic outburst caused by the defeat of the Spanish Armada in A.D. 1588, and the literary period of Spenser, Shakespeare, Burleigh and Sir Philip Sidney.
		The period is specially remarkable for the erection of a large number of country residences in which many Gothic features, such as mullioned windows, towers, oriels and large chimney stacks, were retained, but were ornamented with Renaissance detail.
		The Great Hall was not universal in this period, and even when found does not occupy such a disproportionate space as formerly, being, in fact, retained from the mediaeval period in order to give a certain state and dignity to the house, although the spirit and meaning of its old character had departed.
