These are what I would suggest, Rip:

In Shakepeare's time (his time is one time)
In the time of Shakspere (during his life-- as with the above)
At the time of Shakspere (at the same period but not necessarily concerning the playwright)
In Elizabeth's time (the queen-- one life, one time)
In Elizabethan times (the name of a period)
