The term 'humanist' originally referred to a scholar of Classical
literature. In the Renaissance and particularly in the Elizabethan
age, European intellectuals devoted themselves to the rediscovery
and study of Roman and Greek literature and culture. This trend of
Renaissance thought became known in the 19th century as 'humanism'.
Often a difficult concept to understand, the term Elizabethan
Humanism is introduced in Part One and explained in a number of
different contexts. Part Two illustrates how knowledge of humanism
allows a clearer understanding of Elizabethan literature, by
looking closely at major texts of the Elizabethan period which
include Spenser's, 'The Shepherd's Calendar'; Marlowe's 'Faustus'
and Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'.
