	The Jacobean Syndrome
		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).

	Jacobean Period
		As the Jacobean carvings were not descended or evolved from these Gothic models they were entirely distinct from the pointed style with its endless combinations of the significant trefoil and quatrefoil.

		Before leaving the wonderful richness of Jacobean carvings and old fl oak, consider for a moment the gate-legged table, for a specimen is occasionally to be found, to delight the eye and to accommodate the hand.
