This article deals with peculiar features of Jacobean literature, more specifically drama in that period. We analyzed themes and forms of literatures of this era in comparison with Elizabethan age, since both of them are included in the Renaissance period. Jacobean drama is, as its name itself suggests, all the dramas those were written and performed in the reign of James I (from Latin word “Jacobus”), who ruled the country after Elizabeth’s death. However, deep analysis shows that the term does not only refer to the period, but it has its own peculiar features that differ from Elizabethan drama or the drama of other periods.
