Jacobean agePeriod in the visual and literary arts during the reign of James I (Latin Jacobus) of England (r. 1603–25). Jacobean architecture combines motifs from the late Gothic period with Classical details and Tudor pointed arches and interior paneling. Jacobean furniture, made of oak, featured heavy forms and bulbous legs. Inigo Jones, following the theories and works of Andrea Palladio, introduced the Classical style of Renaissance architecture into England. Most Jacobean portraitists and sculptors were foreign-born or foreign-influenced, and their efforts faded when such Flemish painters as Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony Van Dyck worked in England for James's successor, Charles I.

The development of the reading habit in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries eventually meant that, first poets and then novelists, could hope to base substantial careers on an audience who, unlike the minstrels of earlier times, or even the playwrights of the Jacobean era, they never confronted face to face. Starting with a general overview of the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras and what political, spiritual and practical concerns made the British world turn for its citizens, he examines the plays themselves in the order that Shakespeare most likely wrote them. |
