>Archaic-Classical Greece >Tang China? >Classical period of Persian or Arabic?
I know some about the first, a bit about the second, and basically nothing about the third, but these would be my guesses. For some reason I get the sense that the Persian/Arabic classical ages would outweigh the Sanskrit one but that's entirely based on "vibes".
Around the beginning of the 17th century; ending around the time the Anglo began censoring the Novel (Victorian Era roughly, with more certainty around the Late Victorian Era). It was already on a fast downward trend by the turn of the 20th century.
It never recovered afterwards, and all the people that made it great were either dead, or censored by that timeframe.
My presumption would be that he more specifically means the half-century from Marlowe through Jonson, starting in 1587, plus Milton. But maybe he's a big fan of the Restoration too, seems less likely though.
The big names, after the man himself, would be Milton, Marlowe, Spenser, Jonson, Sidney, Webster, Beaumont & Fletcher, and Middleton. Dryden and Congreve are the main ones for the Restoration, or Rochester if you're feeling a bit naughty.
>outside of Britain
Outside of the Anglophone world, that I could believe, poetry doesn't translate well. If you are a native English speaker saying these are "no-names", you should be very ashamed. I agree Dante is greater than Milton but to consider them as being remotely interchangeable shows you are a superficial reader.
I knew I was forgetting some btw, Donne and Marvell belong there too (Marvell was outside the specific range I mentioned so that's a point in favor of the later half of the century).
1840-1940
what about shelley? byron? holderlin?
1840-1940 has many fine poets. I just chose 100 years as an arbitrary number for a period. I’d rather the 1930’s get in than the 1820’s or 30’s

Idk they're all no-names outside of Britain. Except for sub-Dante (Milton).

Are there any studies that compare prose from different periods? Oral versus scribe versus print versus digital eras?
