James I (Seminar Studies In History)

James I (Seminar Studies In History)

by S. J. Houston (Author)

Synopsis

Since publication in 1973 James I has established itself as one of the most popular short accounts of James I's reign. The First Edition was described by John Morrill as 'a far better, shrewder, more incisive account of the reign' than the available competition Seventeenth-Century Britain, 1980. The text has now been entirely rewritten to take account of the latest historiography and students will continue to welcome this accessible analysis of the problems, weaknesses and achievements of James I as it enables them to participate in the revisionist arguments that make the study of this period so stimulating.

Media Reviews

'xxx;reflects how historians views of England's first Stuart king have been revised. The 1995 James is a far shrewder abler monarch than the 1973 James.'
