THE ENGLISH RENAISSANCE - 4^C LINGUISTICO
The
Renaissance – that cultural, political, scientific and intellectual explosion
in Europe between the 14th and 17th centuries – represents perhaps the most
profoundly important period in human development since the fall of Ancient
Rome. Read here.
The word renaissance literally means "rebirth." In the
context of the English Renaissance, this rebirth refers to a renewal of
learning, especially in terms of new beliefs and ways of doing things
differently from the Middle Ages. Characteristics of the Renaissance include a renewed
interest in classical antiquity; a rise in humanist philosophy (a belief in
self, human worth, and individual dignity); and radical changes in ideas about
religion, politics, and science.
The Elizabethan Age as
part of the Renaissance period saw the development of Elizabethan poetry and drama as well as the stability and prosperity of England. The Queen supported development of art which
contributed to the emergence and recognition of individuals such as William
Shakespeare and Ben Johnson. She also supported exploration by authorizing the
voyage by Sir Francis Drake around the globe. Discover more here.
