Shakespeare's age when he wrote Hamlet ? (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elizabethan

But I can't explain it at all!

(Other definitions for elizabethan that I've seen before include "Late 16th century style" , "Characteristic of Virgin Queen's reign" , "Tudor" , "like Raleigh" , "like Sir Philip Sidney" .)
