  Social satire told through Jacobean renegade
Jacobean England’s Moll Cutpurse was a woman ahead of her time who became a notorious legend of 17th century London, the so-called “governess of the underworld” and the subject of a 1611 comedy by Middleton and Dekker.
She wore pants, smoked in public, and was a pickpocket, musician and fencer.
There are star-crossed lovers, numerous Jacobean twists at every turn and Moll’s piece de resistance-the unlawful performance of her show-in protest of the authoritarian climate.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Extreme Unction
He did not deny that the Jacobean rite may have been a sacrament in the Early Church, but held that it was a mere temporary institution which had lost all its efficacy since the charisma of healing had ceased (Comm.
That the Monophysites also retained the Jacobean unction after their separation from the Catholic Church (451) is clear from the fact that their liturgies (Armenian, Syrian, and Coptic) contain the rite for blessing the oil.
Many testimonies might be quoted in which the Jacobean unction is recommended specifically as a means of restoring bodily health, and the faithful are urged to receive it instead of recurring, as they were prone to do, to various superstitious remedies.

 The Jacobean Syndrome   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Jacobean tragedy embodied this new anxiety, along with a certain unreality.
This, too, was anticipated among Jacobean writers and audiences: "[They] preferred to experience a succession of striking situations and to carry away a number of such separate images, rather than the memory of a unified and integrated artistic experience," says Una Mary Ellis Fermor in The Jacobean Drama (1965).
The twentieth- and twenty-first-century syndrome of Jacobean social pathology and gore in the arts is peculiar in that it offers a sort of hieratic justification for the deliberate nastiness it portrays.

 [EMLS 1.1 (April 1995): 5.1-23] Milton and the Jacobean Church of England
The Anglicans in the Jacobean church were strongly influenced by Hooker, and the Laudians or Arminians were the most prominent group in the Jacobean church leadership.
While in the Jacobean years and even later a civil war and executions of archbishop and king were unthinkable, let alone inevitable, it seems clear that the narrowness and insensitivity of some of the Laudian church authorities contributed significantly to making these things possible.
One should note that in the Jacobean years church government had ceased to be an issue, because most puritans felt that they could work in a system in which the bishops were their allies.

In the visual arts, Jacobean design follows the general lines of Elizabethan design, but uses classical features with greater complexity and with more extravagant ornamentation, it adopted many motifs from contemporary Italian design.
In literature, similarly, the model of Jacobean works was Elizabethan in form, but increasingly complex and ornamented.

 [Early Modern Literary Studies 10.3 (January, 2005) 5.1-9] Review of Spatial Representations and the Jacobean Stage: ...
West relates the spatial dynamics of onstage activity and staging at the Jacobean theatre to the changes and cultural dislocations encountered and experienced by many in the early seventeenth century, including enclosure and social mobility.
Although historical and literary sources from the period are utilised throughout the study, West’s focus on the theatrical representation of various social spaces enables him to draw on a range of familiar and important spatial theorists, including Henri Lefebvre and Michel Foucault.
Indeed, chapter one successfully positions several Renaissance dramatic texts as clear examples of the spatial dynamics inherent in the period’s processes and conceptualisations of thought, language and rhetoric, and West’s own close-reading skills are demonstrated as he offers sensitive explorations of passages of dramatic writing.
