…I’m unsure as to whom the first term belongs, maybe John Barton’s of RSC fame? But it holds Elizabethan and Jacobean together concisely. Jacobethan. Sounds too late to be early and too early to be late. Consensus is a slippery word and despite others opinions, i’m down with it. Now if only this meant something.

One of these books is George Puttenham’s The Arte of English Poesie.
