Quite a lot, actually. Shakespeare lived in the transition period between the late Middle Ages and the early Industrial Age. Ideas of honour, or chivalry, of nobility and noblesse oblige, of a world centred upon the teachings of the church, were on the way out. Ideas of commercialism, of pragmatic morality, of reward based on merit, and a world which could be understood by human reason were on the way in. At that time the two ideas were in conflict, so you could find knights who were absolute rogues like Sir John Falstaff.

A lot of things have gone on in Britain in those 400 years such as a civil war and a republican government, restoration of the monarchy, Union of England and Scotland, colonial expansion, the loss of some of the American colonies, a long war with France, the Industrial Revolution, Imperial glory, two costly wars with Germany, a socialist experiment, Irish terrorism, and swelling Immigration from Asia and Africa.

∙ 11y agoThis requires more space than we have here. Find a History of Britain and read everything up to 1564. That's a lot of stuff! You can read about Stonehenge, and Alfred the Great, and the Danelaw, and the Norman Conquest, and the Empress Maud, and William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, and the Order of the Garter and Magna Carta and the beginnings of Parliament, and the Wars of the Roses and Henry VIII's six wives. And that's just a sampling!
