Secular drama, in particular, saw revolutionary developments in the late sixteenth century with the emergence of playwrights such as William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, and Ben Jonson. Their works explored complex themes and characters, and were performed for both the common people and the nobility, making them a powerful form of literary expression. While other options such as readings and sermons were also important, they were not as revolutionary or influential in this period. Dance was an important art form in the Renaissance, but was not typically seen as a form of literature.
