- Then: Renaissance, “Rebirth“ of the Greek and Roman style
- People adopted grammar, rethoric, poetry and philosophy from the Romans
- Suddenly everybody was able to influence their own will and fate
- Renaissance: Age of inventions & discoveries -> people dared to explore things ( maybe this is a reason for Shakespeare`s new style )

- Queen Elizabeth I reigned England from 1558 - 1603, this period was called
the Elizabethan Age
- It was also the Golden Age of England`s history. It became a world power,

travel all over Europe, especially to Italy, and they brought back to England
the culture they discovered
