Kingship and Crown Finance under James VI and I, 1603-1625 (Royal Historical Society Studies in History New Series) - Hardcover
This book rejects outright the stereotypical image of James VI and I as mindlessly extravagant and integrates crown finance with James's kingship. It offers both a fresh view of crown finance - one of the blackest elements in James's historical reputation - and a reconstruction of how the king who wrote on divine right monarchy operated his kingship in practice. Drawing on both his humanist education, particularly his reading of Xenophon's Cyropaedia, and his kingship in Scotland, James developed a clear, considered agenda for crown finance. He used it consciously to underwrite his novel position as the first king of "Great Britain" and to consolidate the Stuart dynasty outside of Scotland. This study analyses in detail how James fashioned and refashioned political regimes in England to further this agenda between 1603-25.

Book Description Hardcover with dustjacket. Condition: Gut. XI., 242 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - small mark on page 16, otherwise perfect condition - Introduction: the politics of crown finance in England -- Jacobean crown finance -- Kingship and the making of fiscal policy -- Crown finance and the new regime, 1603-1608 -- The refoundation of the monarchy, 1609-1610 -- The failure of Jacobean kingship, 1611-1617 -- Crown finance and the renewal of Jacobean kingship, 1617-1621 -- The incomplete reformation of finance and politics, 1621-1624 -- This book rejects outright the stereotypical image of James VI and I as mindlessly extravagant, and integrates crown finance with James's kingship. It offers both a fresh view of crown finance - one of the blackest elements in James's historical reputation - and a reconstruction of how the king who wrote on divine right monarchy operated his kingship in practice. -- Drawing on both his humanist education, particularly his reading of Xenophon's Cyropaedia, and his kingship in Scotland, James developed a clear, considered agenda for crown finance. He used it consciously to underwrite his novel position as the first king of 'Great Britain' and to consolidate the Stuart dynasty outside Scotland. -- This study analyses in detail how James fashioned and refashioned political regimes in England to further this agenda between 1603 and 1625. In so doing, it treats crown finance as a study in kingship which reveals the dynamic, sometimes fraught, interaction of political ideas and practice. By moving beyond older stereotypes and treatments of crown finance as an institutional topic, Dr Cramsie provides fundamental insights into James himself and into his personal rule.
