The Jacobean Era

The Jacobean Era refers to the period in English history during the reign of King James I, from 1603 to 1625. It followed the Elizabethan Era and is known for its significant contributions to literature, particularly through playwrights like William Shakespeare, whose works evolved during this time. The era was marked by political intrigue, exploration, and the increasing influence of the arts and sciences. It also faced challenges, such as economic issues and tensions between different religious groups, leading to a complex cultural landscape that shaped subsequent English history.
