مستخلص: Elizabethan literature refers to the body of groundbreaking British literary works—largely poetry and drama but a significant body of nonfiction as well—that were produced during the reign of Elizabeth I (1558–1603). During the Elizabethan era, England enjoyed unprecedented economic, political, and military stability. The era marked the beginnings of what would become the British Empire. The literature reflects that sense of confidence and optimism. Drawing on models that showed a cultural respect for the late works of the Italian Renaissance, the literature of Elizabethan England nevertheless reflected a robust and vigorous willingness to reinvestigate traditional literary forms and to revisit traditional literary themes—a concerted effort that would create a distinctly British literary tradition.
