		This quality of fortitude the women of the age shared with the men, as Portia shared it with Brutus, and to this they bore testimony with the same readiness on many occasions and in many places besides the scaffold and the stake.
		The looseness and licence of the age form a feature of its life and character well enough known to students, and were by no means, as is sometimes supposed, derived altogether, or perhaps even mainly, from the example of court or town.
		The Elizabethan and Jacobean drama would have been unable, even if it had been willing, to detach itself altogether from the conditions of things in which it necessarily found much of its material, and to which it could not but, in many ways, assimilate the remainder.

		We cannot here consider the meaning of that reaction against pageantry which was an important part of puritanism, but we may note that the modern student does not see the Elizabethan age as it saw itself; for he overlooks as childish those things which it most cared for.
		But, all through the Elizabethan age and until the closing of the theatres in 1642, masque and pageantry held their place in the public eye, and in the public interest, as the most important and honourable and magnificent of the arts.
		The masque at court and among the nobility, and the pageant among the citizens, were practised with an energy that, for the time being, made them the most obvious, if not the most characteristic, of the national activities, the means by which corporate and national feeling most readily expressed itself.

	Elizabethan Period
		For example, the Elizabethan stage platform originated in the medieval unlocalized plateau, and the facade of the Elizabethan stage had evolved from the mansions of medieval religious drama.
		The Elizabethan stage also made use of trapdoors in the stage platform, and machinery in the towers, which was used to lift and move performers.
		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.

		Shelmerdine is in fact a compromise between Orlando and the spirit of the age; although he is technically a husband, he departs again soon after the marriage, leaving Orlando alone again to pursue her own life, which she does quite happily.

	Shakespeare Essay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Shakespeare’s work is not only well-executed from a literary standpoint, it also chronicles the mores and values of the Elizabethan Age, an important historical function.
		His plays have the unique quality of making historical conflicts seem timeless and universal; for example, no one today can relate to what it must have been like to be Marcus Brutus, but most people understand the consequences of betraying a friend.
		In this light, reading Elizabethan English is not a Herculean task; in fact, the small amount of modernization or translation it requires is a valid educational function.
