Jacobean to Restoration Period (1603-1700)
1 The Period at a Glance
The period from the Jacobean Age to the Restoration is a long period of nearly a hundred years in the history of England . It was a period of the greatest socio-political and religious upheavals in the history of England. Broadly speaking, this long period can be divided into the following historical periods:
1. The Jacobean Age (1603-1625)
2. The Coraline Age or The Age of Charles 1 (1625-1649)
3. The Interim Period of Commonwealth (1649-1660)
4. The Period of Restoration of Charles 2 (1660-1685)
5. James 2 (1685-1688)
6. The socio-Cultural Aftermath of the Restoration (up to 1700)
After the death of Queen Elizabeth in 1603, James 1 ascended the throne of England. The period of his reign is called the Jacobean Age. After the glorious and glamorous period of Queen Elizabeth, the reign of James 1 showed a sharp decline in every field of national life. The spirit of Renaissance , the craze for learning, the spirit for daring voyages for the discovery of new lands, and the solidarity of England which had all touched the high water mark during the Elizabethan Age started declining like spent up forces. Several kinds of dissipating forces, specially in the domain of religion, had started emerging and weakening the nation.
