Explanation of English Literature MCQs Test
Jacobean Age, the Age of James I
The Jacobean age was the period when James I was the king of England, between 1603 and 1625. We called it the 'Jacobean' period, not the 'Jamesian' period because Jacobus is the Latin version of the name 'James'. The Jacobean age was an era in English and Scottish history. It corresponded with the reign of James VI of Scotland. He inherited the English Crown in 1603 and he was named Jame I. This period followed the Elizabethan and is known as the Caroline era.
