	Jacobean Furniture, Jacobean Era Furniture Style
		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.
		Early Jacobean furniture was somewhat inward looking, not fully embracing exotic influences, and its ornamentation became less prominent and applied in a less willy-nilly, more ordered, fashion than previously, as can be seen in pictures of early carved furniture.
		A highlight of the period were Jacobean chairs in particular the Farthingale, and also the development of its mule chests and long tables.

		This splendidly illustrated book not only shows the magnificence of the new style of architecture through specially commissioned photography of Elizabethan and Jacobean houses, but also examines the great pattern books of the time to show the roots of the often wild elaboration of the period.
		This achievement is placed in the context of a rich social and cultural life, when literature and the theatre flourished, masques and entertainments proliferated, chivalry was revived and a new type of garden was created as an extension to the house.
		In a lively and controversial narrative, Tim Mowl argues that this flamboyant style represents the last outpouring of truly native genius in art and architecture before it was stifled by the dead hand of classicism.

	Jacobean architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Jacobean style is the name given to the second phase of Renaissance architecture in England, following the Elizabethan style.
		Jacobean buildings of note are Hatfield House, Hertford; Knole House, near Sevenoaks in Kent; and Holland House by John Thorpe.
		It is to publications of this kind that Jacobean architecture owes the perversion of its forms and the introduction of strap work and pierced crestings, which appear for the first time at Wollaton (1580); at Bramshill, Hampshire (1607-1612), and in Holland House, Kensington (1624), it receives its fullest development.

	Queen Anne Style
		Cromwell could not fail to stiffen style as he stiffened morals and those whom they regulate, for style is but the outward sign of thought.
		This introduction revolutionised the style of furniture in vogue, the squarely constructed Stuart style, or Jacobean, as it is called down to this advent of William with his Dutch possessions.
		The great height of the back must be mentioned lest this style be confused with a much later reflection, one which appeared in that stretch of sterile years which now, with little compliment to a great queen, we call the Victorian period.

	Timothy Mowl, Elizabethan & Jacobean Style
		The Elizabethan and Jacobean periods are defined in this work as being from 1558 to 1625, which obviously is earlier than most surviving buildings in the United States.
		However, a few structures in the United States have Jacobean and Elizabethan characteristics (Bacon's Castle in Virginia is Jacobean, although evidently built around 40 years after the end of the Jacobean period).
		In addition, Elizabethan and Jacobean Revival buildings were constructed in both the United States and Great Britian in the 1800's and early 1900's, and the final chapter in the book is devoted to these later examples, built in what Mowl calls Jacobethan style.

	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).
		Certainly the metaphysics that might underlie a play were not of great importance for a Jacobean audience, who relished and applauded the blood, gore, conspiracies, and violence for their own sake, much as an undemanding audience takes pleasure today in the films of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
		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.

		Yes, the Jacobean style was reminiscent of certain features that enjoyed a mini-vogue for the 22 years ending in 1625 in England.
		And yes, the Stick style was a logical alternative to the post and beam construction that waned with the passing of easily acquired large dimensional lumber, and a logical transition from Gothic to Queen Anne, but it also depended on dozens of other factors that took decades to develop and merge into the new style.
		The Queen Anne Jacobean style, rich and varied in ornamentation and form, was wildly popular after its introduction in America at the 1876 Exposition in Philadelphia.

		Far from taking on a purely Italianate style, however, a peculiarly English form emerged, which was not only to be expressed in the great houses, the typical castle-palace of the period, but also in the smaller houses of town and country.
		His presentation of what is often viewed as the insular style of an instable nation, inferior to renaissance Europe, is lively and reasoned.
		Mowl commences with a 'Challenge of Style'- a collection of immediately unnappealing artefacts, he explains both the prejudices we have as those exposed to modernism and its notion of simplicity as a virtue, and the stylistic and social features of the objects.

		The eclecticism comes in the form of peripheral "eddies" to this mainstream, styles not popular enough to make much of a dent in the overwhelming preference for Colonial Revival, but by the same token, the choice of many upper and upper-middle class owners who eschewed the Colonial Revival perhaps BECAUSE it was mainstream.
		The fact is, the predominant architectural style of the Tudor period was Jacobean.
		As the twentieth century dawned, the style became popular as a simple, inexpensive alternative to Colonial Revival because it was something of a veneer or mask that could be cheaply applied to nearly any type housing construction.

		Far from taking on a purely Italianate style, however, a peculiarly English form emerged, which was not only to be expressed in the great houses, the castle-palaces of the period, but also in the smaller houses of town and country.
		So strong was the appeal of this style to the Victorians that they were to christen it Jacobethan and incorporate it into numerous houses of their own period in England and America.
		Timothy Mowl looks at the fascinating social and cultural history of the time and the way that it is reflected in contemporary furnishings, interiors and architecture, he discusses the revival of chivalry, the proliferation of masques and entertainments, and the creation of gardens as extensions to the house.

	Jacobethan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jacobethan is the style designation coined in 1933 by John Betjeman to describe the English Revival style made popular from the 1830s, which derived most of its inspiration and its repertory from the English Renaissance (1550 - 1625), with elements of Elizabethan and Jacobean.
		Examples of this style are Mentmore in Buckinghamshire and Sandringham House in Norfolk, England.
		A volume of text accompanied the fourth and last volume of plates in 1849, but it was Nash's picturesque illustrations that popularized the style and created a demand for the variations on the English Renaissance styles that was the essence of the newly-revived "Jacobethan" vocabulary.

		Architecture historian Timothy Mowl (Architecture Without Kings, An Insular Rococo) opens this excellent, elegant, entertaining defense of Elizabethan and Jacobean design, in all its gaudy excess, by comparing it to the two preeminent quill-dippers of its period: "Neither Shakespeare nor Ben Jonson was a 'Classical' playwright....
		But it was her love of music, theater, and all things grandiose and romantic, Mowl persuasively argues, that gave birth to an exuberant, eclectic architecture whose aim, in his words, was "to be unique, not correct." --Timothy Murphy --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
		From the accession of Elizabeth I in 1558 to James I's death in 1625, a delayed renaissance swept through England, pervading the domestic architecture and interiors of the day and signalling the emergence of a peculiarly English style that has had a romantic appeal ever since.
