Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Paperback edition of a compelling popular biography of England's first Stuart ruler. Few kings have been more savagely caricatured or grossly misunderstood than England's first Stuart. Yet, as this new biography demonstrates, the modern tendency to downplay his defects and minimise the longer term consequences of his reign has gone too far. For, in spite of genuine idealism and flashes of considerable resourcefulness, James I remains a perplexing figure a uniquely curious ruler, shot through with glaring inconsistencies, whose vices and foibles not only undermined his high hopes for healing and renewal after Elizabeth I's troubled last years, but, contrary to current belief, helped entrench those self-same political and religious tensions that eventually consumed his successor. A flawed, if well-meaning, foreigner in a rapidly changing and divided kingdom, his passionate commitment to time-honoured principles of government would, ironically, prove his undoing, as England edged unconsciously towards the crossroads and the shadow of the Thirty Years War descended like a pall upon Europe. AUTHOR: John Matusiak studied at the universities of London and Sussex before embarking upon a teaching career that eventually spanned more than thirty years. For over a third of that time, he was Head of the History Department at Colchester Royal Grammar School, founded by Henry VIII in 1539. He is the author of Henry VIII (THP, 2012), Wolsey (THP, 2013), The Tudors in 100 Objects (THP, 2015) and the forthcoming The Prisoner King (THP, 2017). 16 b/w illustrations Paperback edition of a compelling popular biography of Englands first Stuart ruler Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
