The Shakespearean Era, I suppose, although you don't hear that very often. Maybe we should use it more.

It's more common to hear the "era" defined by the name of the monarch reigning in England at the time. Unfortunately Shakespeare lived in both the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (The Elizabethan Era) and the reign of King James I (The Jacobean Era).
