The province of this book is some of the notions about the world and man that were quite frequently taken for granted by the ordinary educated Elizabethan; the commonplaces too familiar for the poets to make detailed use of, except in explicitly educational passages, but essential as basic assumptions and invaluable at moments of high passion/5(8). The objective of The Elizabethan World Picture is to extract and explain the most ordinary beliefs about the constitution of the world as pictured in the Elizabethan Age and through this exposition to help the ordinary reader to understand and to enjoy the great writers of the age.

  The Elizabethan would picture was a very dynamic one. Is it any wonder that the English language soared to such heights during this period? The Shakespeare scholar, G. Wilson Knight - in books like 'The Imperial Theme' and 'The Crown of Life' - is also excellent on this topic.   Full E-book The Elizabethan World Picture For Full. elisabeh.
