Why did the tradgety of Macbeth and other Elizabethan plays represent a radical shift in English drama?
Macbeth was not an Elizabethan play. It was a distinctly Jacobean one. There was a shift in English plays in the Elizabethan period. They weren't about religion as earlier morality and mystery plays had been (see Everyman). They started to write tragedies based on the Roman model (Gorbuduc) or comedies using classical or indigenous secular forms (Ralph Roister Doister, Gammer Gurton's Needle). This change, however, happened fifty years before Macbeth was written, during which time a completely new secular style had developed and become extremely popular.
