I guess this depends some on what you mean by era.. In terms of simple dates, Shakespeare wrote most of his plays between 1589 and 1613. If you are talking about what literary era he was writing in, people tend to say that he was part of the English Renaissance. If you are asking about historical eras, most people associate Shakespeare with Elizabethan England.
William Shakespeare was an English poet, playwright and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the Bard of Avon. His extant works, including collaborations, consist of approximately 39 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare was born and brought up in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna and twins Hamnet and Judith.
