The Significance of Factors Influencing Elizabethan Leisure
Untitled Worksheet
Understanding Factors Affecting Elizabethan Leisure
In Elizabethan England, leisure activities such as theatre, sports, and festivals were popular among different social classes. Various factors influenced how these leisure activities developed and were experienced.
Factor 1: Political stability
A period of relative peace, especially after the defeat of the Spanish Armada, allowed more focus on leisure and cultural pursuits.
Factor 2: Social hierarchy
Social class determined access to leisure; the wealthy enjoyed elaborate entertainments, while the poor had limited options.
Factor 3: Economic prosperity
Wealth generated from trade and industry meant more money was spent on leisure activities.
Factor 4: Religious attitudes
The Reformation and religious beliefs influenced the types of entertainments considered acceptable.
Consider these factors when analyzing the development of leisure in Elizabethan society.
