'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.'
Teaching History
Product Description
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.

Format:Textbook Binding
Houston has produced an excellent book that provides a broad overview of the interesting and controversial period of James's reign. Did he sow the seeds of Parliamentary rebellion, or was he an enlightened monarch who passed on a sound legacy to Charles? Houston deals with both sides of the argument with great clarity and precision. Worthy reading for AS-Level students, and anyone interested in James I generally
