The state or quality of being coeval; existing at the same time or age.
From coeval (Latin coaevus) + -ness (noun suffix). The suffix -ness creates another variant of the abstract noun expressing coexistence in time.
The coevalness of Shakespeare and Marlowe means we can compare their dramatic techniques directly—they were writing in the same London theater scene, influencing and competing with each other.
