The Elizabethan Age is the period when Elizabeth I was on the throne of England, 1558-1603. It has that name because it was considered to be a golden age in English history and is associated with the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.

How did Shakespeare refer himself as a writer?

He referred to himself as a writer by writing sonnets. When he was writing plays, Shakespeare the author never appears--all the lines are delivered by actors playing a part. So a line like "O, what a rogue and peasant slave am I" is not Shakespeare talking, it is the character Hamlet talking. Even Choruses and Prologues are embodied by actors who are playing that part, not the part of Shakespeare the writer. But the sonnets are another thing. When in Sonnet 50 Shakespeare writes "How heavy do I journey on the way", the word "I" is not meant to be spoken by an actor, and can only be taken as being the voice of Shakespeare the writer.
