  6. Elizabethan Education • In the Elizabethan era the childhood for boys, from the age of five to seven, was spent by being sent for the most elementary level of education at what was called a Petty School • These Petty schools were usually run, for a small fee, by a local, well educated housewife. At the ' Petty School ' or ' Dame School ' children's education would consist of being taught to read and write English, study religious dogma and learn lessons in behavior. • Playwrights would more likely go to a Grammar school • The Grammar School in Stratford was called King Edward IV Grammar School and William Shakespeare would have started attendance at the Elizabethan Grammar school at the age of seven • The boys, including William Shakespeare,  first learnt Latin with the assistance of the Tudor text-book known as Lily's Latin Grammar – • The first year of Elizabethan education the curriculum would have consisted of learning parts of speech together with verbs and nouns. The second year of education the rules of construction and forming sentences and the third year of Elizabethan education would have concentrated on English-Latin and Latin-English translations.

  7. Patronage • Patronage is the support, encouragement, privilege and often financial aid that an organization or individual bestows to another. In the history of art, arts patronage refers to the support that kings or popes have provided to musicians, painters, and sculptors. • Rulers, and very wealthy used patronage of the arts to endorse their political ambitions, social positions, and prestige. The key element in this production was patronage. It was the money of patrons that allowed artists to live long enough and well enough to produce their wondrous achievements.
