Sir William jones places him in 1st century B.C.
ProfA B Keith and Vincent Smith to 4th century A. D.

The first five centuries of the Christian Era Is considered as the dark age of Indian literature. This was followed by the glorious period of the6th century. A.D.
King Vikramaditya was a great patron of literature in whose court the famous nine gems of scholars and poets existed.this we learn from the verse Dhanvanti rakshipanakmarasimha shanku, vetalambhat ghatakarpara kalidasa.
Kyatho vrahamihiro Nirupa the have sambhaya,
Rathnanibhai vara ruchiranava vikramasya.
This verse is from jyothirvidabharanam which belongs to the9th century.
Kalidasa has given two of the best mahakavyas, three of the best dramas and two of the best lyrics. no other poet or dramatist in Sanskrit literature can claim such an abundant literary output.
The Raghuvamsa 19 cantos and the Kumarasambava 8 cantos are the two mahakavyas.
kalidasa shows remarkable skill in the ready manufacturing of verses to order to describe a given situation or to complete an imperfect stanza or a more circumstentail legend. famous among them are Raghu's conquests, The sandal of Kashmir, The pearl fisheries of Tamrapani,, The deodars of the Himalayas, The betel and coco palm of the Kalinga, the sand of the Indus.
still researching any lecture notes if any one can share will be pleased.
