Welcome to the Renaissance Culture Wiki

Tudor England: 1485-1603

This wiki is designed as a guide to the key persons, terms and concepts of the English Renaissance. Like every other wiki, this project thrives on your participation.

Please help it grow by amending existing articles and adding new ones. It's up to all of us to make this a valuable resource for quick reference, exam preparation and further study.

Every contribution is highly appreciated.


Navigating

In the menu on the left, use the search box to find a specific article, or click on "Random page" to read a surprise article.

Wiki articles are cross-linked; thus you can choose one article as an entry point and explore your topic by moving through the pages.

The "What links here" feature in the toolbox on the left allows you to see a list of the articles that link to the page you're currently reading, helping you to put information in context.

"Recent changes" will allow you to keep track of all modifications and new articles.

How to participate...

First of all, if you're new to writing in a wiki, just give it a try -
no one is born a master.

To test the editing process of an article, experiment with styles and let your creativity run wild, have a look at the Sandbox.

To create a new entry in our wiki, you can either click on a red link in any text or enter the title of the article in the search box, then click on "create". See the Help Section for assistance.

...and some ideas to get us going

No one's expected to write entire essays; there's no marking and no scrutiny. On the other hand, by investing a little effort in sharing parts of your work you can profit from everybody's additions, feedback and ideas.

  • What's hot this week? - "6: Society"
Social structure Feudalism Nobility Gentry
Places & Spaces Royal Progress Hampton Court Nonsuch Palace
People Elizabeth I Thomas Cranmer Henry Unton

Feel free to add more material!



  • Taking notes on a computer?

If you're taking notes on a notebook during the lecture or if you're entering your handwritten notes in a word processing software at home, why not copy some of your information into our wiki?

  • Previous endeavours?

If you've previously worked on any topic pertaining to this course (does "Shakespeare" ring a bell?), whether in papers, presentations or elsewhere, consider posting parts of your material at the appropriate places here. (Please do not publish anybody else's work than your own!)
