What literary genre developed in Elizabethan Era?

There were an immense number of themes explored by writers in the Elizabethan era. Just looking at the most recognized writer of the time (William Shakespeare of course) you can find literary themes that range from jealousy and ambition to gender relations and sex. Some very common themes include

- Courtly love

- Notions of leadership (from portraying tyranny to praising Excellence)

- The pastoral (country life and innocence vs. city/court life).

- Revenge and morality

- Cuckoldry

- Adaptations from the Romans (and more towards the 17th century the Greeks).

- Allegory and Rhetoric

There are countless more, but that's a decent starting point.
