Prepared to honour the work of R. J. Lyall, this collection of
essays offers new perspectives on the literature and culture of the
reign of James VI, from his accession as an infant to the throne of
Scotland, through the Union of the Crowns, to his final years as
king of Great Britain. Its emphasis is on James's reign as a whole,
stressing the continuities in literary culture throughout the time
of his rule, rather than the more familiar narrative of disjunction
caused by his accession to the English throne in the 1603 Union of
Crowns. In addition, the collection extends its focus beyond a
concentration on the environment of James's court to situate the
literature of his reign in terms of both regional and international
contexts. The essays range widely in their approaches and cover
topics as diverse as book history and printing; textual scholarship
and editing; language, rhetoric, and prosody; gender attitudes in
James's reign; travel writing and colonial contexts; Latin literary
culture; and courtly culture and the politics of literary
representation. Such variety is also evident in the languages
discussed, which include Scots, English, Latin and French, in the
generic range of the subject texts, from epic poetry to travel
writing, and in the writers discussed, from the very familiar, such
as John Knox and Robert Aytoun, to the currently less well-known,
such as William Lithgow and Thomas Hudson. All the contributors are
respected scholars in the discipline, including some of the most
senior figures in the field. Taken as a whole, this collection is
the most extensive and varied treatment of Scottish literary
culture of this period to date, and will be a key collection for
all students and specialists in the field.
