Product Description

Product Description

Christopher Durston examines the personality and political ability of the monarch, the court, finance, parliament, foreign policy and religion, including James's record in Scotland and the legacies of Elizabeth I.


From the Back Cover

James I has traditionally been portrayed as a foolish and unpleasant man. However, the last two decades have seen a rehabilitation of James I by historians, who have begun to appreciate that in some areas, in particular foreign policy and religion, he pursued sensible policies and achieved a considerable degree of success. Christopher Durston deals with the personality and political ability of the monarch, the court, finance, parliament, foreign policy and religion, including his record in Scotland and the legacies of Elizabeth I. The arguments of the revisionist historians concerning James's relations with his parliaments are examined in detail, as well as the recent `postrevisionist' backlash.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 15 Nov 2001
By A Customer
I used this book to study for my AS Level in History and I found it very useful. It covered all the different factors of James' reign individually which made it very easy to read and understand. I would definately recommend this book to anyone who is interested in James 1 and History in general.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, 28 Sep 2009
I can't recommend this book enough. It helped me with my AS level history a lot. Not like a normal study guide, flip-flopping between one topic and the next, Durston takes each important theme of James' reign and gives a vivid narrative and detailed interpretation. The book also contains much historiography which is coming in very handy for A level studies. Invaluable to all history students, you must read this book before the exam.
