Reviews

This is an absolutely splendid book. For far too long, the amazing literary output of James VI and I has been regarded, at best, as interesting for its political theory and views on kingship, at worst, as worth noting not for its intrinsic value but because a king put pen to paper. Fischlin and Fortier have put together a collection which at last does its subject justice, and are to be congratulated on doing so.--Jenny Wormald "St. Hilda's College, Oxford"
