English men and women of the sixteenth century experienced an unprecedented increase in knowledge of the world beyond their island. Religious persecution at home compelled a substantial number of both Catholics and Protestants to live abroad; wealthy gentlemen (and, in at least a few cases, ladies) traveled in France and Italy to view the famous cultural monuments; merchants published accounts of distant lands like Turkey, Morocco, Egypt, and Russia; and military and trading ventures took English ships to still more distant shores. In 1496, a Venetian tradesman living in Bristol, John Cabot, was granted a license by Henry VII to sail on a voyage of exploration, and with his son Sebastian discovered Newfoundland and Nova Scotia; in 1583, Sir Humphrey Gilbert returned to Newfoundland to try to establish a colony there. The Elizabethan age saw remarkable feats of seamanship and reconnaissance. On his ship the

The overview to this topic discusses the ways in which Elizabethans used encounters with other cultures as a means of defining themselves. Often, the resulting definitions were unstable at best. Explore this idea more fully by going to Web resources that focus on sixteenth-century exploration. You might begin with the excellent online exhibition Cultural Readings: Colonization and Print in the Americas (University of Pennsylvania Library). European travellers to non-Christian countries were often quick to interpret unfamiliar customs and religious practices as evidence of devil worship. We find this charge made by John de Léry and Ralph Fitch against the Brazilians and Indians, respectively. The accusation of Satanism might seem to make the "other" even more alien. Yet, paradoxically, it could also make these peoples seem more familiar, by situating their customs within a Christian/European framework.

Related links Influences Elizabethan gardens were influenced by the Italian Renaissance. The pageantry and elaborate nature of gardens, such as those at the Villa d'Este near Florence and Fontainbleu in France, inspired Henry VIII to create the gardens at Hampton Court. It was an age of exploration and therefore many new plants were introduced to the English garden, as well as new ideas and styles of gardening. Wealthy patrons were keen to have the latest fashions in their gardens that would reflect their status. John Gerard's Herbal, published in 1597, is one of the main sources for the kind of plants used in gardens of this era. Typically, roses, herbs, fruit and box hedging were common. Many plants were chosen for their mythical qualities as well as their flowering and fruiting potential. John Tradescant and his son were famous plant collectors of the 1600s. They introduced many plants to Britain, including the tulip tree and yucca.

The French novelist's fantastic tales engendered in all three of these early visionaries the dreamfundamental to the early Space Ageof literally traveling from here to the moon. The memes of Jules Verne, we might say, were very infectious. The dreams of today's science fiction writers are, of course, far more complex, fantastic, cosmic, and ambitiousfar more new wavethan Verne's simple, nineteenth-century faith could have imagined, and the memes that these dreams spin off are more radical. So too, as we might expect, are our attendant Space Age prophecies; we envision much more than flying to the moon: to hear us talk, we are hatching extravagant schemes not only of exploration and colonization but of supremacy. Whether or not any actual influenceany implanting of memescan be shown of the former on the latter, the respective probes of science fiction and science fact remain in synchronous orbit, both inspired by what J. G. Ballard has described as the need to ceaselessly invent the "infinite alternatives to reality which nature itself has proved incapable of inventing" ("Cataclysms" 130).

ACTIVELY READING THE AGE OF ELIZABETH A Course Portfolio for English 322: Summer 2000 COURSE GOALS AND CONCEPTUAL ORGANIZATION The main goal of this course was to enable students to become more active readers of English Renaissance texts; as a secondary goal this course set out to make students more aware of themselves as learners, and thus both more capable of engaging actively in their learning in this particular course, and more able to engage effectively in other courses throughout the rest of their university careers. Active Reading Most of the undergraduates I teach find Renaissance texts very difficult, and they thus begin the course as relatively passive readers, looking to me to tell them about the works we read. My aim is to change that focus, to foster in them a concern with what they, not I, think about our texts. This is not a revolutionary goal, but in the past students have found it difficult to achieve. I normally organize a course around one or two dominant conversations. In this course I focussed on cultural notions of "discipline" because through that topic I could link the thematics of sixteenth-century educational discipline together with those of such other disciplines as love, politics, and personality. In this class we began the quarter with the theme of educational discipline in Utopia and Dr. Faustus; then, starting with Faustus and continuing through 3 weeks of sonnets, we explored how first Marlowe, Sidney, Shakespeare, and then Spenser, Greene and Heywood each weave versions of the disciplinary theme together to explore connections among its other dimensions in the registers of love, politics and personality.

Navigation was still an uncertain business, the wooden ships were easily damaged by rocks or ice, food and drink were often inadequate, the vessels were subject to attack by locals eager for bounty, and there was little knowledge of how to protect crews from disease by a healthy diet, and no immunity to the tropical diseases encountered on land. Ghostly ships like those in Coleridge's Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner or Wagner's The Flying Dutchman were common, their crews dying and their progress in the hands of half-crazed maniacs desperate for rest. These were commercial enterprises set up in London, Lisbon or Amsterdam trying unknown routes to destinations often only learnt about through hearsay. Success was chancy at best, and the men who set sail not surprisingly a ragged bunch.

Peter K. AYERS Back to contents Staging Modernity: Chapman, Jonson, and the Decline from the Golden Age No. 47 (April, 1995), pp. 9-27 INDEX TERMS 1) Jonson, Ben 2) The Alchemist 3) Urban world 4) Authorship 5) George Chapman's comedies 6) Alchemy 7) Textual/historical analysis 8) Golden Age 9) Saturnalia The subject of the world's decline from the Golden Age to the present provides an interesting vehicle for exploring a number of plays of George Chapman and Ben Jonson. In All Fools Monsieur d'Olive The Widow's Tears (1605), and The Alchemist (1610), the passing of the Golden Age is represented as a form of distinctively urban saturnalia, a liberation from the weight of traditional moral, spiritual, social, political, and cultural values and restraint inherited from the past. Full weight is given to the squalor of the present, but equally to the paradoxical fashion in which it is precisely such squalor that permits the present to free itself from the past. In the plays of Chapman such iconoclasm is largely thematic; in The Alchemist it is more interestingly incorporated into the linguistic, theatrical, and textual structures of the play as well. Face's reference to Dol's 'modern happiness' (4.1.22) provides one focal point; the exploration of linguistic collapse, here associated with the Tower of Babel, another; the perverse vindication of alchemy on both a literal and metaphorical level, another; the involuntary complicity of the audience in the alchemical con-games of the rogues, and the theatrical con-games of the author, another; the manipulation of textual effects in Jonson's exploitation of the medium of print, yet another.
