I defer here, as my ignorance of the technical identifiers of English literature is vast. Really, really vast. As someone who managed, in fact, to avoid much exposure to English literature classes as an undergraduate (a neat trick in the American system, but it can be done, and since my degree was in Classics, I don't think I'm an utter barbarian for having done so--just mostly) I keep thinking of Early Modern as, you know, 18th century/early 19th century, because that's what it looks like to me--I should probably just stick to identifying by century, as I'm less likely to get into trouble that way.
Also, mock PBS at every chance you get. It makes him twist and writhe in fury and pain, little emo boy that he is.
