Excerpt from The Making of the England of Elizabeth

Of hardly less consequence in the annals of the reign is the sudden appearance of the peculiar but effective maritime activity of those licensed rovers and freebooters - the sea-dogs whose activity culminated gloriously in the irregular running fight in the Channel known as the defeat of the Spanish Armada.

Finally, to complete the period, as it were, to hand on its life and colour to posterity, we have the great literary movement, including among its worthies such giants as Spenser, Bacon, and Shakespeare.
