The Influence Of Elizabethan Values On Shakespeares “The Taming Of The Shrew“ The reign or Queen Elizabeth I was one of the most fruitful and prosperous times in European history. The legacy of all that was achieved during her time still lives on today. Some of the greatest examples of these achievements are William Shakespeare’s many works of literature. The clothing, relationships between men and women, and the music of the Elizabethan times are portrayed several times throughout William Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew”. One of the most influential times in European history was when Queen Elizabeth I was ruling. Elizabeth reigned for about forty-four years, ending in 1603 (Olsen 74). Elizabeth came into the crown when her father, King Henry, decided to break away from the Roman Catholic Church, and named himself the head of the new Protestant Church of England. He was succeeded first be his son Edward, and then by his elder daughter Mary. Both claimed the crown, but met early s. Elizabeth inherited the crown after “Bloody Mary” passed away (75). Elizabeth’s court was one marked by constant growth and achievement, principally in the areas of music, literature, and the arts.
