Talk:Elizabethan era
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Festivals etc.
The material on traditional festivals isn't sourced, and I wonder if it should be moved to a more general article on traditional festivals of pre-industrial England?
- I'm editing it to make it more consistent with Wiki style, but I also vote to move it. Seems an odd fit here. Egthegreat 20:19, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
These festivities weren't specifically Elizabethan (except for the Accession Day celebrations of course!).
See the various works of Ronald Hutton (especially The Rise and Fall of Merry England and The Stations of the Sun) for even-handed general discussions of English folk-customs in the light of recent scholarship. - PKM 20:53, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
- Can you not add these book to the "reference" section? You seem to have the details of these books. It would be appreciated. Dieter Simon 00:00, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
- I'll put them in as further reading - "reference" suggests (to me) that the books support what's said above, and I am dubious about some of it. - PKM 02:21, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
what about weapons?
[edit] Shouldn't "Era" be capitalized?
Its like that in the article, but not in the title. JONJONAUG 15:43, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose - The mentions in the article should be set to Elizabethan era. See also Victorian era, Jacobean era. ~ trialsanderrors 19:04, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose general WP style to use lower-case. Septentrionalis 04:35, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Current Era
What is the current era called? --Daniel C. Boyer 17:54, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- I see your point, as I would see today as the Elizabethan era as well, and Elizabeth II has reigned a lot longer than Elizabeth I and has seen a lot more events. Jamandell (d69) 20:58, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
