Welcome to Mr. Lambert's History Class
"The Elizabethan Experience



    Hail and well met! Welcome to Mr. Lambert's senior history page, "The Elizabethan Experience". This year, we will be exploring European history during the Elizabethan period (roughly 1558 - 1603 AD). We will explore the customs of the time, as well as technological advances made by the thinking men of the age. Throughout our exploration, we will read many texts by Shakesphere, John Dee and Christopher Marlowe. The workload is heavy, dare I say, knightly, but I am confident in the ability of my students. I can be reacher by E-mail at any time to answer the questions of both parents and students. Good luck, and Godspeed.
