Hey, what you can do is write down all the age name chronologically along with the year, from Chaucerian age to postmodern age and then start collecting all the historical and political background. what happened during each age, what changed, what was prevalent, what took place and the belief system, if it was a religious era or an era of modernism and lost of religion. Best make it like a story and connect one age with another, then find out the prominent writers and their works that were famous and why they were famous. you can also find out some writers who were not famous at their own time but are now being recognized because of their ideology and writing style. That way you will have a structure in your studies. 

I hope this helped.

best wishes

hey honestly, there is no exact time period for any of the era. It will vary depending on how you look at the age. However, I always refer to 'English Literature' by William J Long. If you an English major student you must have heard of that name. You can easily find the book even on the internet, pdf format. You can refer to that. It's the nearest we can get. But that doesn't mean you can not refer to other books, and it's always good to refer books rather than the internet. The era is defined by the changes happening between the old age and the new, and while for some the era may begin and end according to the death of a ruler or coming of another ruler, like Jacobean Age. Some eras are very slow and its really hard to put an exact number, like the postmodernism era or even the modern age. As a literature student, you will have to understand that there is no perfect time.
