"little other choice". True they'd speak English, but it would be far from what I know. Hopefully I wouldn't be killed in my first few weeks with a hampered ability to communicate. As well, while you could pick up the language quickly, to make first contact, beg someone for a place to stay, try and get a job, explore and ask questions, you'd need to be able to communicate. Surely it would come with time, but starting out it would be very difficult.. But I'm being too realistic for this to be fun. Again I am trying to be more realistic as an angle to attack this question, and selfish in the sense that, I want the highest quality of life for myself in any of these time periods, so that would directly colerate to my ability to better myself. I would love to go to, almost any of those time periods, after a hellish start, just taking in the history would be its own adventure, not to mention you could easily chance history in numerous ways, and surely be creative enough to actually do well for yourself. Actually I think I might want to change my answer.. But how do you choose if you're not being realistic? I could go with Rome because, who doesn't love Rome, but hell any of those time periods would be interesting. There would be a million things going on in any of them. A chance to die for. How could I not go to Tokugawa Japan? The fact that I know less about it would be even more of a challenge. Hopefully they wouldn't kill me for being a foreigner. When are we going?

Elizabethan English wasn't all that different. That's why we can still read Shakespeare. The accent would probably sound weird to us (more like the Ozarks than a modern English accent), but otherwise we'd be okay.

Still hardly the range of choice I would like (again, if I'm being anal about the language issue), but agreed.

If you were immersed in a new place you'd pick up the language pretty quickly. Also they spoke English in Elizabethan England. Apparently there was some playwright who was kind of well known at the time...
Sir Francis Bacon?
