Description - King James VI and I: Selected Writings by Neil Rhodes

While several other monarchs engaged in literary composition, King James VI and I stands out as "an inveterate scribbler" and is certainly the most extensively published of all British rulers. This volume provides a broad representative selection of King James's writings on a range of secular and religious topics. Each text is provided in full, creating a useful reference tool for 16th and 17th century scholars working in different disciplines and a collection for students and general readers interested in early modern history and literature. In contrast to other editions of James's writings, which have been confined to a single aspect of his work, the present edition brings together his poetry and his religious writing, his political works and his treatises on witchcraft and tobacco, in a single volume.
