Historians often refer to it as the golden age in English history. It is considered to be a time of English Renaissance, a time that saw the flowering of poetry, music, and literature. This era has been widely romanticized in movies, plays, and books.
Daily life in the Elizabethan Era focused mainly on the lives of wealthy nobles, which made up only 3% of England's population. And the rest of it were poor peasants that did not live a luxurious life and had to work hard just to earn a little bit of money. There are not many accounts of peasant life since most were uneducated and so writing was not apart of their lives. ]]> 2021-11-01 18:50:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberlyallison/ae7rsunrbcxxkf6i/wish/1859619379
