Can you tell me the time period for the Renaissance when Shakespeare wrote his sonnets?

I need to know when it began and when it ended.
And a short description what it was. Thank you :]
 
No one really knows exactly when the sonnets were written (they were published in 1609), but it is generally thought that he wrote them throughout his career/life.
He lived from 1564 to 1616. This is generally referred to as "the Elizabethan era" (named after Queen Elizabeth, who ruled at the time) This will tell you about the time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabethan_era
