  Moses statue by Michelangelo.   An Elizabethan theater--restoration. The courtyards of London inns often served as playhouses before regular theaters were built. These inn yards furnished many suggestions for the early theaters, as the picture shows. The stage was in one end, and the open space in front served as the pit. The galleries around the sides afforded additional space for spectators. The plays were given in the afternoon, as artificial lighting was impossible. The occupants of the pit had the sky for roof, and had often to seek shelter from storm. There was almost total lack of scenery. For example, a painted sign alone indicated Prospero's Island in Shakespeare's Tempest. The audience welcomed complicated plots and long monologues if these presented ideas of worth. The theater took the place of lectures, newspapers, and magazines. The plays of Ben Jonson and William Shakespeare were first given under such conditions.   Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616)   William Caxton (1412-1491)   Hanseatic League Map, 1360

Our maps and pictures are valuable tools for helping high school World History students better understand the European Renaissance. Maps can show the spread of Renaissance ideas from Italy to the rest of Europe, highlighting important trade routes, cultural centers, and political boundaries. They help students visualize how geography influenced the movement of people, goods, and knowledge. Pictures, including Renaissance paintings, sculptures, and architectural works, provide insight into the values of the time—such as humanism, realism, and classical inspiration. Analyzing visual art helps students explore themes like individualism, scientific observation, and secularism. Together, maps and images make abstract ideas more concrete and foster deeper engagement with the period's cultural and intellectual achievements.
