What period of time was early modern English?
The transition between Middle English and Modern English took place slowly and at different times in different places. Chaucer (1380) is clearly Middle English, and Shakespeare (ca. 1600) is clearly Early Modern. Malory's Morte D'Arthur (1485 or so) is probably the earliest major work which is Early Modern English. The distinction between Early Modern English and later kinds of Modern English is harder to draw, because Early Modern English is essentially Modern English with occasional aspects of older English. These older aspects only gradually became less common in English and some of them have still not disappeared. (Consider, for example, Darth Vader's line "What is thy bidding, my master?") An end date for Early Modern of the end of the seventeenth century is somewhat arbitrary but as good as any other.
