The mirror of Great Britain: a life of James VI & I
On the shelf? Just pop in.
James VI and I, who died 400 years ago, was one of Britain's most consequential and interesting monarchs, not least in creating the British monarchy itself by joining the English and Scottish thrones. A major intellectual, James's preoccupations ranged from witchcraft and theological controversy to hunting, diplomacy, poetry and sartorial fashion. This work provides a reassessment of this important monarch.
