A great deal of excellent poetry was composed in Scotland in the
first quarter of the seventeenth century. In 1603, when James
Stewart became also king of England and Ireland, several Scottish
poets moved to London, and commented on events at Court. Others
preferred to remain in their homeland, at a distance from the
metropolis; and some who had gone south soon returned home. In
addition to the perennial themes of love and religion, attention
was given to topics such as national identity, foreign travel,
civil society, monarchy, the good life, friendship, retreat, and
the nature and language of literature itself. Poets faced the
political and cultural challenges inherent in the novel concept of
Great Britain in a variety of ways, and the thistle and the rose
bloomed together in the Jacobean garden of verses.
