The Elizabethan Age, often referred to as the golden age of English history, was a period of remarkable cultural and artistic flourishing. This era, spanning from 1558 to 1603 during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, saw significant advancements in literature, theatre, and the arts, with William Shakespeare emerging as its most iconic figure.

Key aspects of the Elizabethan period include:

  • The rise of the Elizabethan theater, which became a central part of cultural life
  • A complex worldview based on the Great Chain of Being, which structured society and the cosmos
  • Advancements in art, particularly portraiture, with artists like Nicholas Hilliard
  • The persistence of medieval medical theories, such as the Four Humours doctrine
  • A rich cultural tapestry that blended popular entertainment with high art

This period laid the foundation for much of modern English literature and drama, making it a crucial era in the development of Western culture.

The Elizabethan World View 2

The Elizabethan world view emphasized the importance of maintaining the established order. Key aspects include:

  • The belief that all elements must remain in their designated place for harmony to prevail
  • The idea that attempts to disrupt this order would lead to chaos
  • The concept that lower levels of existence reflected higher levels on a smaller scale
  • The interpretation of insurrections, diseases, and natural disasters as signs of disturbance in the natural balance

Highlight: This worldview strongly influenced Elizabethan literature and drama, often serving as a backdrop for conflicts in plays.

The Elizabethan World View 1

The Elizabethan worldview was centered around a well-ordered universe designed by God. Central to this perspective was the concept of the Great Chain of Being, which structured all of creation in a hierarchical order:

  1. God at the top
  2. Angels
  3. Kings and Queens
  4. Commoners
  5. Animals
  6. Plants
  7. Non-living things

Definition: The Great Chain of Being was a hierarchical structure of all matter and life, believed to have been decreed by God.

Highlight: This worldview placed Earth at the center of the universe, reflecting the geocentric model prevalent at the time.

The Art in Elizabethan Times

Elizabethan art was deeply influenced by Queen Elizabeth I herself. Key characteristics of art during this period include:

  • Artists often used Elizabeth as inspiration for their works
  • There was little distinction between popular entertainment and high art
  • Lack of free speech led artists to find indirect ways to represent contemporary issues
  • The use of allegory was common in artistic expression
  • Writers often drew parallels between historical events and current social problems

Example: Shakespeare's historical plays often contained veiled commentary on contemporary political issues.

Vocabulary: Allegory is a form of extended metaphor in which objects, persons, and actions in a narrative are equated with meanings outside the narrative itself.

Four Humours 1

The theory of the Four Humours was a fundamental concept in Elizabethan medicine and philosophy. This theory posited that:

  • Nature consists of four elements: fire, air, water, and earth
  • Each element corresponds to a bodily fluid and an organ
  • The four humours are yellow bile (liver), blood (heart), phlegm (brain), and black bile (spleen)
  • Each humour is associated with specific personality traits: choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic, and melancholic

Definition: The Four Humours theory was a system of medicine detailing the makeup and workings of the human body, believed to be correct from ancient Greek times until the advent of modern medical research.

Four Humours 2

The Four Humours theory had significant implications for Elizabethan medicine and understanding of health:

  • Health (eucrasia) was believed to result from a balanced mixture of the humours
  • Disease (dyscrasia) was thought to be caused by an imbalance of the humours

  • Natural self-healing was believed to be the primary method of recovery, with doctors supporting this process

Vocabulary: Phlebotomy refers to the practice of bloodletting, while cupping involved creating suction on the skin to draw out "bad" humours.

Highlight: This medical theory significantly influenced Elizabethan literature, with characters often described in terms of their dominant humour.
