James
VI and I
(Profiles in Power)
by Roger Lockyer
Addison-Wesley Pub Co; September 1998
"Roger Lockyer's new study (based
throughout
on primary as well as secondary sources) is the
first major reappraisal of James in recent years
to take new historiography fully into account.
It throws fresh light on the major themes of early
seventeenth-century British history, including
religion, royal relations with political institutions,
and the divine right of kings. Above all, while
fully acknowledging James's limitations, it
rescues the king from undeserved contempt."

James
I
(Seminar Studies in History)
by S. J. Houston
Paperback 2nd edition
Addison-Wesley Pub Co; September 1995
"First published in 1973 James I
has established itself
as one of the most popular short accounts of James's
reign (1603-25) after his accession to the English throne.
However, since the book was published there has been
a flood of specialist studies on early Stuart government
and politics and it is in the light of this new research that
the author has entirely rewritten the existing text. In
particular, S.J. Houston reconsiders the King's Scottish
background; his transition to the English throne; his
subsequent dealings with his northern kingdom; the
personalities and politics of the English court; and his
handling of parliament, foreign policy, finances and
religion." — Book jacket.

James
VI and I : King of Great Britain
(Cambridge Topics in History)
by Irene Carrier
Paperback
Cambridge Univ Press; August 1998
"This book explores the personality
of James I, King
of Great Britain, in the context of the complex issues
of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Key topics
are presented through primary source material, and
critical questions are raised. What progress was made
in the union of Scotland and England during the reign
of James I? To what extent was there a revolution in
English foreign policy during the last years of his reign?
Was money the root of all evil between James I and his
parliaments? Is it fair to judge that James I was 'the wisest
fool in Christendom'?" —The Publisher

King
James VI of Scotland & I of England
by B. Beavan
Hardcover
David Brown Book Co; June 1996
"Concentrating on the man as well as
the king, this is
a portrait of James, only son of Mary Queen of Scots
and her consort, Lord Darnley. James passed the first
12 years of his dramatic life at Stirling Castle, where he
was crowned King of Scotland when scarcely 13 months
old, his mother having been forced to abdicate. He became
a brilliant Latin scholar, but his lonely boyhood and his
friendship with a succession of attractive favourites were
to influence his later life." —Amazon.co.uk

King
James VI & I Innocent Until Proven Guilty
by Coston Stephen A. SR., Neumeier Richard D. (Illustrator)
Mass Market Paperback
KonigsWort Inc.; June 1, 1998
"[Y]ou will find a forensic rejoinder
to the claims that James VI &
I
"burned Baptists" and that the Anglican Church of which he was
temporal head was a hetero-orthodox assembly. You will find that
the contentions and dissimulations of his Puritan critics are put
into proper perspective, and the critical case about James VI & I's
lust for blood disproved. The facts of law are cited in detail, and
many
hitherto unknown historical facts are brought to light in a heuristic
approach to the anti-Jacobean problem. "

King
James VI and I and the Reunion of Christendom
(Cambridge Studies in Early Modern British History)
by W. B. Patterson
Cambridge Univ Press; December 1997
"This is a historical study of the
career of King James VI and I,
as king of Scotland (1567-1625) and England (1603-1625), who
achieved a union of the crowns as the first king of Great Britain,
and who undertook to end the recurring religious wars. His peace-
making by diplomatic means was complemented by his efforts
to foster closer relations among the churches. The peace which
he helped to maintain by these initiatives, though cut short by
the coming of the Thirty Years' War, was immensely beneficial
both to Britain and to the other countries of Europe."

The
Making of Jacobean Culture : James I and
the Renegotiation of Elizabethan Literary Practice
by Curtis Perry
Hardcover
Cambridge Univ Pr; October 1997
"It is a critical commonplace to note
sharp cultural differences
between Elizabethan and Jacobean England. But how and why
did this transition take place? What kinds of decisions and
assumptions were involved as writers responded to the new king?
How did residual Elizabethan expectations and habits of mind
shape the English response to James I, and what were the
consequences? How much control did James have over his
reception? This study examines these questions in detail by
exploring a wide range of texts written during the first decade
of his reign in England." —The Publisher.

Translating

by Ward Allen
Paperback
Vanderbilt Univ Pr; January 1994
"Now available in paperback for the
first time, [this] is
a fascinating look at how the best-selling book of all
time took shape and sound. The recovery of thirty-nine
amazingly legible pages of John Bois's private notes
reveals how a committee of scholarly translators urged
and argued, bickered and shouted into being the most
glorious document in the history of the English language."

King
James and Letters of Homoerotic Desire
by David Moore Bergeron
Hardcover
Univ of Iowa Pr; May 1999
"Using original letters, primarily
from the British Library and the
National Library of Scotland, David Bergeron creatively argues
that James' correspondence with certain men in his court con-
stitutes a gospel of homoerotic desire. Bergeron grounds his
study on an examination of the tradition of letter writing during
the Renaissance and draws a connection between homosexual
desire and letter writing during that historical period. [P]resents
a modern-spelling edition of seventy-five letters exchanged
between Buckingham and James." —The Publisher.

King
James and the History of Homosexuality
by Michael B. Young
Hardcover
New York Univ Pr; September 1999
"Combining research on the history of
homosexuality
with political history, Young's treatment of homophobia,
effeminacy, manliness, and sexual politics in Jacobean
England not only explores the repercussions of James's
homosexuality on his son Charles's reign, but shows how
prior historians have mishandled the subject of James'
homosexuality and underestimated its political consequences."
