The title of this article isn't entirely satisfactory; but I can't find a better one. The need is to differentiate between two Robert Brownes, both actors who lived at the same time. One died in 1603, and so can accurately be called Robert Browne (Elizabethan actor); since the other lived well into the reign of James, I called him a "Jacobean actor" to set the two apart. The problem is, the second man was both an Elizabethan and a Jacobean actor. For full accuracy, I'd have to use some monstrosity like "Elizabethan/Jacobean actor" or "English Renaissance actor." Years of birth or death won't do, since we lack the birth year of one and the death year of the other.

Better alternatives needed. Ugajin (talk) 05:50, 14 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
