If you want to know what their handwriting looked like Google images "Elizabethan handwriting". If you want to see what it looked like when it was printed, Google Images "Shakespeare First Folio", and "King James Bible 1611" You will note that the fonts used in Shakespeare's plays look considerably more modern than that used for The Bible--perhaps because there was a popular association with Bibles being handwritten by monks. Facsimile editions of Shakespeare's plays printed during his lifetime and also of things printed by his contemporaries (Jonson, Francis Bacon) can also be found online.
