<P> The English Renaissance was a cultural and artistic movement in England dating from the late 15th century to the early 17th century . It is associated with the pan-European Renaissance that is usually regarded as beginning in Italy in the late 14th century . As in most of the rest of northern Europe , England saw little of these developments until more than a century later . The beginning of the English Renaissance is often taken , as a convenience , to be 1485 , when the Battle of Bosworth Field ended the Wars of the Roses and inaugurated the Tudor Dynasty . Renaissance style and ideas , however , were slow to penetrate England , and the Elizabethan era in the second half of the 16th century is usually regarded as the height of the English Renaissance . </P>
