Question

The greatest period for English drama was during the _____.

Middle Ages
16th and 17th centuries
20th century

Answer 1

16th and 17th centuries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Without a doubt, English drama as it was developed during what is called the English Renaissance (16th and 17th centuries) is unsurpassed. From the authors that are well known during this time period, like Cristopher Marlowe, no one earned a higher recognition than William Shakespeare, the greatest poet and playwright that, arguably, saw modernity. The influence that Shakespeare had on the theater and language (not only English language), to this day, and probably for the rest of time, is invaluable.

Answer 2

The greatest period for English drama was during the "16th and 17th centuries," since this was the period in which great writers like William Shakespeare worked.
