	Jacobean Furniture, Jacobean Era Furniture Style
		The Jacobean, or Jacobethan, era was another phase of English Renaissance architecture, theatre, and decoration and formed a continuation, begun in the Elizabethan age, of the the Renaissance's penetration into England.
		The early Jacobean furniture period, which inspired much of the early American furniture of the pilgrims (in America Jacobean style furniture is often called Pilgrim furniture), was similar to Elizabethan furniture in that it was still largely made of oak, and of a solid, sturdy construction.
		A highlight of the period were Jacobean chairs in particular the Farthingale, and also the development of its mule chests and long tables.

	Introduction
		The drama thus performed on the Elizabethan and, I would add, Jacobean stage, was firmly situated within that space of "ideological ambivalence and contradiction," a marginal space which allowed for the theater’s privileged ability to stage the "incontinent hopes and fears" of its society.
		Jacobean city comedy predominantly deals with the city (as opposed to the country) and city life—including problems in gender, class, and sexual relations.
		In particular, I’m interested in Jacobean city comedy precisely because it is about issues of everyday life—issues and anxieties made possible by capitalist conditions; thus, they are early modern concerns, for city comedy dramatizes the contradictions and anxieties and hopes of a culture in flux.

		The foremost poets of the Jacobean era, Ben Jonson and John Donne, are regarded as the originators of two diverse poetic traditions—the Cavalier and the metaphysical (see Cavalier poets and metaphysical poets).
		Among the leading prose writers of the Jacobean period were the translators who produced the classic King James Version of the Bible (1611) and the divines Lancelot Andrewes, Jeremy Taylor, and John Donne.
		The Jacobean era's most fiery and eloquent author of political tracts (many in defense of Cromwell's government, of which he was a member) was also one of the greatest of all English poets, John Milton.

	Jacobean Oak Chairs - Farthingale Chair
		Chairs in the Jacobean era were solidly built of oak wood.
		Some Jacobean chairs were much like those of the Louis XIII style, having the short solid wood back covered with leather, damask, or tapestry, put on with brass or silver nails and fringe around the edge of the seat.
		Other chairs of the Jacobean era harked back to medieval times and were heavily turned.

	Renaissance Forum: Volume 4, Number 2, 2000: Paul Cefalu
		In an attempt to reverse our impressed beliefs that Jacobean politics was absolutist in nature, revisionist history has described a consensual model of early modern politics, according to which governmental 'opposition' was always expressed within the parameters of a consensual understanding between King and commons with respect to the scope of proper state powers.
		Elizabethan and Jacobean culture at large believed it was not unduly oppressive in 'restraining' the free movement of the underclass and the non-laboring poor, and argued that confinement to work-houses was the most rational anti-poverty measure available, given high employment and the dangers of 'masterlessness' (Beier, 1985).
		Rather than interpret the play as an allegorical enactment of historically established party and class antagonisms, which did not in fact exist during the early seventeenth century, the class positions in the play should be seen as two unreified manifestations of the duality of the early modern state.

	EMLS 8.2 (September, 2002]: 12.1-3 Review of Leeds Barroll, Anna of Denmark
		In particular, the queen consort's feminocentric court (which Barroll specifies was defined by her person rather than by a specific place), functioned as a significant site of cultural politics, which in her era were inextricable from the administrative, dynastic and diplomatic concerns that critics have inaccurately limited to James's patriarchal court.
		More particularly, as Barroll argues, in inventing the Jacobean masque Anna was re-inventing herself as she moved from the volatile Scottish to the relatively less factionalized English court.
		By contextualizing the Jacobean masque in terms of the Elizabethan precedent, Barroll further underlines Anna's radical re-making of the formerly all-male masque into a female directed performance.

	Webster, John Criticism and Essays
		Both plays reflect the characteristic darkness and profound consciousness of evil that characterized the Jacobean period, an age that questioned the preceding Elizabethan era's belief that all social, political, and even spiritual relations were defined in an unchanging hierarchy.
		Scholars agree that the Duchess herself is one of the greatest tragic heroines of the period.
		Her attitude of Christian resignation in the face of her brothers' vicious cruelty and sexual obsession with her imbues her with a profound dignity, and the depiction of her murder is commonly judged as one of the most moving scenes in all Jacobean drama.

	Macbeth: Fair Is Foul and Foul Is Fair
		The most memorable references to Jacobean England in the play, however, are those which chronicle events of the notorious Gunpowder Plot--a conspiracy by Catholic sympathizers to blow up the Parliament building and all the heads of state on November 5, 1605, approximately one year before Shakespeare’s play was written.
		By focusing their production upon the time the play was written rather than upon the chronology of its eleventh-century source material, the director and his designers have created a world not unlike our own where we are more susceptible to moral depravity because it lurks innocently behind the thin veneer of civilization.
		Similarly, Dean Mogle’s exquisite early Jacobean costume designs—including ruffs, high collars, and a slightly looser silhouette than previous Elizabethan styles—delineate a society in which sumptuous and colorful courtly clothing masks the depravity within many of the principal characters.

		These forces produced during the reign (1558–1603) of Elizabeth I one of the most fruitful eras in literary history.
		Many others in a historical era when poetic talents were highly valued, were skilled poets.
		The intellectuals and artists of the age had to deal in some way with the upheavals in society, the obvious inequities of abundance for a few and squalor for many, and, emanating from the throne of Queen Victoria (1837–1901), an emphasis on public rectitude and moral propriety.

	B. Early Jacobean England (c.1603-1610)
		The last group of poems in this section consists mostly of libellous epitaphs on courtiers and ministers—on Archbishops of Canterbury John Whitgift (d.1604) and Richard Bancroft (d.1610), on Charles Blount, Earl of Devonshire (d.1606) and his wife, Penelope Rich (d.1607), and on Lord Treasurer Thomas Sackville, who was Lord Buckhurst and Earl of Dorset (d.1608).
		Pickering’s case made it clear that it was possible to libel the dead, that truth or falsehood were legally immaterial to whether a statement was a libel or not, and that, perhaps most importantly, to libel a minister of the Crown was an inherently seditious act (see Bellany, “Poem”).
		One verse, for instance, lampoons what Lawrence Stone called the Jacobean “inflation of honours”, the King’s tendency to grant honours—knighthoods and aristocratic titles—at a far greater rate, at a cash price, and to a socially more diverse group of men, than his predecessor had done (“Come all you Farmers out of the Countrey”).

		But the Jacobean era did not wish to pursue the classical schools of art and literature, each deeply embedded in the Renaissance and the Enlightenment.
		The extent of conflict within Elsinore castle reveals the deepness of Elizabethan drama at the pinnacle of Shakespeare's career: his tragedy is the story of a fallen state with little hope of recovery.
		In Elsinore's stateroom, the halls of mirrors depict the metaphor of equivocation in the monarchy; the facades of madness act, as if humanity were `to hold a mirror up to nature.' The mirrors cast four or five images of Kate Winslet as she performed the dehabilitating grief of a daughter mourning her father.

		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.
		In the Jacobean era it was perfectly understandable that he should have been "destin'd of a child" to the service of the English church "by the intentions of my parents and friends [including, perhaps, Richard Stock].
		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.

		Indeed it is significant that the second of the two is labelled “A Satire”, since it attempts to apply the practices and structures of Elizabethan verse satire, rather than those of the libel, to the representation of Jacobean politics.
		Unlike most other libels, these poems have a sense of history unfolding across a period of years, and as a result offer valuable reflections on the notable developments of the Jacobean era.
		Not only do they plot the era’s spectacular rises and falls, they also attempt to make sense of these facts of history: invoking codes of morality and speculating on matters of political causation.

		She explains creating her style, "I knew it had to be floral, it had to be fantasy rather than realism, and it had to be appliqu." She then developed several methods of appliquing the graceful but tricky shapes typical of fantasy botanicals.

	Needle'nThread.com: Jacobean Era Revisited - Pattern with Butterfly
		When I posted the last Jacobean pattern, I got some interesting and informative responses, and a couple inquiries on the book.
		The book that I took the different motifs from (I scanned them and edited them, moving parts here and there) is called Jacobean Embroidery: Its Forms and Fillings including Late Tudor (a rather burdensome title) by Ada Fitzwilliam and A.F. Morris Hands which I picked up on Abebooks.
		So, when I was on a Jacobean kick (actually, I was playing with new threads - trebizond and soie ovale, among others), I decided to scan up some of the plates in that book and play with them, putting them together to see if I could come up with some neat combinations to practice with.
