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.
The Life of William Shakespeare (1564â1616). Within the class system of Elizabethan England, William Shakespeare did not seem destined for greatness. He was not born into a family of nobility or significant wealth.He did not continue his formal education at university, nor did he come under the mentorship of a senior artist, nor did he marry into wealth or prestige. His talent as an actor seems to have been modest, since he is not known for starring roles.uring King James's reign, Shakespeare wrote many of his most accomplished plays about courtly power, including King Lear, Macbeth, and Antony and Cleopatra. In 1609 or 1611, Shakespeare's sonnets were published, though he did not live to see the First Folio of his plays published in 1623.
