language was extravagant, his style, imaginative, and his plays were filled with a youthful exuberance. Following this period he became more developed. His plots were better, his work more artistic, and his knowledge of human nature showed a marked increase. His tragedies appear in the next period, when his plays show gloom and depression, but his powers are fully matured and his real art becomes apparent. At last during the final years of his literary career we notice a calm- ness, a serenity which prevades the work of this latter period. Shakes- peare stands head and shoulders above the crowd as the world's greatest literary man. After Shakespeare English Drama shows decline, or per- haps we should say a return to the old level, for none could reach the heights which he had reached. Ben Jonson may be said to be the one after Shakespeare that was best fitted to lead the world of the Drama. His comedies are filled with a humor which even now has the power to induce a laugh. None of his contemporaries, except perhaps Middleton, are worthy of mention. Over the prose writers, Bacon holds unquestioned reign. Most of his writings were philosophical works, the greatest of which is, In- stauratio Magna. This magnificent work, for which he had most am- bitious plans, was supposed to contain all the knowledge necessary for an educated man. He shows a marvelous knowledge of nature and a poetic intuition in his prophecies. Among the other prose writers may be considered Raleigh, and Sidney whom we have already mentioned as a poet. North is best known for his translation of Plutarch's Lives. from which Shakespeare drew most of the incidents for his Roman plays. Taken as a whole the Elizabethan period, with its Shakespeare and its Bacon, has produced the real literature of England, which has lasted and will last as long as the English language.
