This 2001 book examines the ways in which books were produced, read
and received during the reign of King James I. It challenges
prevailing attitudes that press censorship in Jacobean England
differed little from either the 'whole machinery of control'
enacted by the Court of Star Chamber under Elizabeth or the
draconian campaign implemented by Archbishop Laud, during the reign
of Charles I. Cyndia Clegg, building on her earlier study Press
Censorship in Elizabethan England, contends that although the
principal mechanisms for controlling the press altered little
between 1558 and 1603, the actual practice of censorship under King
James I varied significantly from Elizabethan practice. The book
combines historical analysis of documents with literary reading of
censored texts and exposes the kinds of tensions that really
mattered in Jacobean culture. It will be an invaluable resource for
literary scholars and historians alike.
