Description

The accession of James I marked a significant turning point in English history, as the country transitioned from the Tudor to the Stuart era. Susan Doran's book, From Tudor to Stuart: The Regime Change from Elizabeth I to James I, explores the complex and often tumultuous events surrounding James's rise to power. James faced numerous challenges in his early years as king, including the legacy of his predecessor, the unrest in Ireland, and plots to remove him. The book delves into the historical records, including state papers, letters, drama, and material objects, to provide a nuanced understanding of James's reign and its impact on national politics and royal policies. Doran's examination of James's reign reveals a period of significant change, with fresh personnel at the centre of power and alterations in monarchical institutions. The book also offers a fresh perspective on James and his wife Anna, shedding new light on their characters and qualities.
