Elizabethan Age

Japanese: エリザベス時代 - エリザベスじだい(英語表記)Elizabethan Age
Elizabethan Age
Strictly speaking, it refers to the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1558-1603), but in literary history it usually refers to the height of the English Renaissance, including the reigns of the subsequent Kings James I (1603-25) and Charles I (1625-49). This period was a transitional period from medieval feudalism to the centralized modern state system, and the court was becoming the center of culture as well as power, but at the same time, the rise of the urban bourgeoisie with the rise of capitalism was making life in London more lively.

Japanese:
厳密にはエリザベス女王(1世)の在位期(1558‐1603)を指すが,文学史の区分としては通常,そのあとのジェームズ1世(1603‐25)およびチャールズ1世(1625‐49)の治世を含めたイギリス・ルネサンスの最盛期をいう。この時代は中世の封建制から中央集権的な近代国家体制への過渡期に当たり,宮廷は権力とともに文化の中心となりつつあったが,半面,資本主義の勃興による都市ブルジョアジーの台頭は,ロンドンの市民生活を活気あるものにしていた。
