Elizabethan Age

Elizabethan age is the supreme age for England with comparison to other ages the history of England is divided into.
England for the first time in European history appeared as the leader in politics, literature and trade and commerce.
For politics, Queen Elizabeth was one of the shrewd politicians of all times and very successful administrator. It was the time of religious bigotry and confusion and difference among different Christian sects. She ablehandedly and with cunning and intelligence managed them all and even sometimes being too harsh.
Defeating the Spanish Armada in 1588 can be considered as one of her supreme achievements! It was such an important event in history that from then on England appeared as a powerful navy which ensured them as the leading country with colonies which comprised of the half of the world in the later centuries and their supremacy in navy was remain unchallenged until the second world war when USA took its place.
In literature this age was the most flourishing one. We can get rare example of such profuse production of various arts in a single age. It was the time of Christopher Marlowe,one of the finest playwright of world literature.
It was the time of Ben Johnson, a learned and well taught genius.
It was the time of Sir Philip Sidney,the perfect Elizabethan character in manifold diversity.
Above all, it was the time of the bard, William Shakespeare who sang such eternal songs the world is still mesmerized in getting the pleasure immortal and finding the meaning of those!
It was the time of Francis Bacon who pioneered the English prose who said things in precision and exactness and in extreme brief with epigrams and wits.
It was the age when England felt confident on her and the nation began to rise to rule the world for years ahead.
