Anna of Denmark
Anna of Denmark, wife of James VI and I from 1590 until her death in 1619, was one of the most notable European queens of her time, particularly after James’s succession to the English throne in 1603. She was politically adroit, determined and well-connected. Raised in the rich surroundings of the Danish court, daughter of Christian IV and his sophisticated queen, Sofie of Mecklenburg-Güstrow, she was a prominent member of the extensive Oldenburg…
National Identity and the Anglo-Scottish Borderlands, 1552–1652, by Jenna M. Schultz
Dressing the Scottish Court, 1543–1553
This book is set to become the indispensable reference book for anyone working on sixteenth‐century clothing, fabrics and footwear in Scotland, and indeed for anyone working on the mid-sixteenth-century Scottish court. English historians of dress and performance will benefit from it, too. They will have Melanie Schuessler Bond to thank for her painstaking and invaluable work, transcribing and editing thousands of entries relating to clothing in t…
Jenny Wormald
In the later 20th and early 21st centuries, Jenny Wormald was the most original, and one of the pre-eminent, historians of late medieval and early modern Scotland
The Literary Culture of Early Modern Scotland
The early modern literary miscellanies of Scotland explored here offer rich evidence of a vibrant literary culture—at the Scottish court, among its urban and civic elites, most obviously but not exclusively in Edinburgh, and in landed family households all over Scotland. How does one structure these separate manuscript collections (mainly poetry) produced during an eighty-year period into a book, if the significant theme that emerges from them is…
Imaging Stuart Family Politics
Thanks to Roy Strong, David Howarth, Kevin Sharpe and others, historians now have a much greater understanding of how we can read images to grasp their political messages. Sharpe has also applied this kind of close reading to textual representations of monarchy and Commonwealth. Their work has elucidated the significance of the visual representation of monarchy in negotiating, securing and promoting royal authority, but suggests also that such im…
Regency in Sixteenth-Century Scotland, by Amy Blakeway
Royal minorities in Scotland have traditionally received a bad press from a largely Anglocentric historiography that equated an infant monarch with a lack of effective government. Such minorities were characterised as faction-ridden, turbulent periods when the administration of justice was thrown into disarray and mighty magnates oppressed the land. As a result, the reputation of the regents that presided over these years was similarly tarnished:…

Tweeting Ben Jonson’s Walk
In 1618, the playwright Ben Jonson walked from London to Edinburgh. In 2009 details of that walk were recovered in a manuscript account. In 2013, Jonson’s ‘Foot-Voyage’ was tweeted real-time from July to October, and a linked blog hosted a digital map deepened with information from the text. Jonson’s ‘virtual’ journey was to enhance public engagement, his absorption into new communities echoed by exchanges with their twenty-first-century inhabita…

Ben Jonson's Walk to Scotland
The Obligations of Kinship and Alliance within Governance in the Scottish Borders, 1528-1625
The importance of kinship and lordship in determining relationships within medieval Scotland has long been acknowledged. In the late sixteenth century, however, Scotland underwent an intensification of government in which the crown increasingly drew judicial processes within its own remit, replacing the private justice dispensed by regional elites with the public justice of the central courts in Edinburgh. The assumption might therefore be that t…
Authorship and Authority
James VI and I has often had a bad press, his reign generating a drip-drip of invective masquerading as analysis over the centuries. Probably only Edward II comes off worse in terms of stereotypical, homophobic caricaturisation. For film-makers this image still remains. Thankfully, however, Jenny Wormald and Pauline Croft, among others, have begun to transform poor James from a two-dimensional cartoon to a more rounded portrait of a complex king.…
The Scottish Middle March, 1573-1625
Scottish Middle March, 1573-1625
A frontier society
Literature and the Scottish Reformation
The Scottish Reformation did not take place overnight: it took decades to embed in the Scottish subconscious, to achieve conviction not mere conformity. And its seeds were sown, their form now hotly debated, in the decades prior to 1560. Covering a similarly long period from the 1530s through to the mid-seventeenth century, this volume of essays by historians and literary scholars examines the literature, largely religious, produced to evangelise…
Sixteenth Century Scotland
From Whitehall to Jedburgh
When James VI and I arrived in London in 1603, he created a new bedchamber, which he filled with Scottish courtiers. This he positioned, antagonistically as it turned out, between himself and the more English privy chamber. These Scottish courtiers thus had the most intimate access to James, and were able to exercise great influence over the distribution of James's favour. Whilst their importance has been debated within an English context, their …
Scotland Re-formed, 1488-1587
Jane Dawson's wide-ranging and stimulating new volume traces the transformation of late medieval Scotland into a renaissance kingdom, from the beginning of James IV's reign, in 1488, to the execution of his granddaughter Mary, Queen of Scots, in 1587. The book forms part of a series, The New History of Scotland, which will ultimately contain ten volumes providing a narrative history of Scotland from Pictland to the present. The volumes are intend…
The chasm between James VI and I's vision of the orderly "Middle Shires" and the "wickit" Scottish Borderers between 1587 and 1625
L'élimination du crime le long des frontières anglaises, de pair avec un plus grand sérieux face à ce problème à partir de 1587, fait partie d'une monopolisation générale de l'utilisation de la violence et des procédés légaux par le gouvernement écossais. Au fur et à mesure que la succession de Jacques Stuart sur le trône anglais devenait vraisemblable, le contrôle des frontières s'est accéléré, et les chefs expéditionnaires des raids outre front…
