Declaration This thesis is my own work. It has not been submitted for a degree at any other university. Abstract This thesis explores how James I performed and represented his royalty in two key areas. The first is his engagement with the European tradition of magnificence, which was a central aspect of Renaissance court culture, in such areas as public appearance and liberality. The second is his self-representation in his writings. James prioritised verbal over visual forms of self-representation and portrayed himself as a Writer-King, and these are amongst the most distinctive aspects of his kingship. The thesis examines a range of primary sources, principally James's writings but also contemporary responses to the king's self-representation, such as letters and ambassadorial reports, and engages with other critical and historical studies. The gaps and misapprehensions in accounts of James that this thesis contributes towards rectifying derive from several general tendencies. There has been an over- reliance on the early historiography of James, a lack of work on the Scottish and European contexts for his self-representation in England, and little attention paid to his writings. This thesis combines the close reading of the `literary' approach with the attention to context of the `historical' approach, placing the discussion of James's self- representation within the cultural and political contexts of Scotland and England, and considering his cultural and political engagement with continental Europe. It has four main chapters, one on James's background in Scotland, one on his performance of the role of magnificent king in England, and two on the writings he wrote or republished in England. The discussion reveals that in Scotland James developed tendencies, strategies, and anxieties that would continue into his English reign, and argues that negative perceptions of him in England derived largely from a clash between the style he had developed and the expectations of his new subjects. It examines James's attempts to combine authorship and authority and reveals their problematic relationship. The discussion suggests that James was aware of the importance of effective self- representation, but his style, the clash of expectations, and problems inherent in the representation of royalty, meant that his attempts to reinforce his image risked undermining and demystifying the king. A note on texts All references to James's prose works, including speeches, refer to James I, The Workes (1616), facsimile reprint (Hildesheim; New York: Georg Olms, 1971) unless otherwise specified. Page numbers will follow in parentheses. This reprint includes at the end two meditations, A Meditation vpon the Lords Prayer and A Meditation vpon Saint Matthew or a Paterne for a Kings Inavgvration, which were both written in 1619 and first included in the 1620 edition of James's Workes.This reprint is continuously paginated. 1 Introduction At a banquet on 4 August 1621 James I, King of England, engaged in an idiosyncratic and controversial act of royal self-representation, an incident which raises many of the issues that this thesis will illuminate. In August 1621 James was being entertained by his favourite, George Villiers, Lord High Admiral, Earl of Buckingham (and later Duke), during a visit to Buckingham's newly acquired home, Burley-on-the- Hill. This visit took place during the summer recess of the parliament of 1621, a parliament in which the king was seeking backing for his unpopular foreign policy of negotiating for marriage between his heir Prince Charles and the Catholic Spanish princess and of non-intervention in the war in Europe. The first session of the 1621 parliament had dealt with the matter of monopolies. This constituted an indirect attack on Buckingham, but he had emerged triumphant. He then provided for James at Burley- on-the-Hill entertainment that included Ben Jonson's masque, The Gipsies Metamorphosed, on 3 August. Buckingham played the leading gypsy and was given 3 lines in which he praised the king. At the banquet on the next day James praised Buckingham in return by reading out the following `Vow or Wish for the felicity & fertility of the owners of this house' to Buckingham and his wife: If euer in the Aprill of my dayes ' James's foreign policy in this period will be discussed in more detail in subsequent chapters. 2 Buckingham, who was newly married, had moved into Burley-on-the Hill, a great estate in Rutland, during the early summer of 1621 (Roger Lockyer, Buckingham [London; New York: Longman, 1981 ], p. 63). This masque was also performed at Belvoir on 5 August and at Windsor, probably early in September, in a revised version (Ben Jonson, ed. by C. H. Herford, and Percy and Evelyn Simpson, 11 vols [Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1925-52], VII, 541). For a discussion of the masque in the context of the 1621 parliament, see Martin Butler, "'We are one mans all": Jonson's The Gypsies Metamorphosed', Yearbook of English Studies, 21 (1991), 253-73. For an account of the 1621 parliament, see Conrad Russell, Parliaments and English Politics 1621-1629 (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1979). 3 See chapter two. 2 I satt vpon Parnassusforked hill: And there inflam'd with sacredfury still By pen proclaim'd our great Apollo's praise: Grant glistringe Phoebus with thy golden rayes My earnest wish which I present thee heere: Beholdinge of this blessed couple deere, Whose vertues pure no pen can duly blaze. Thow by whose heat the trees in fruit abound Blesse them with fruit delicious sweet & fayre, That may succeed them in theyr vertues rare. ffirme plant them in theyr natiue soyle & ground. Thow Joue, that art the onely God indeed, 4 My prayer heare: sweet Jesu interceed In 1621 it was thirty-seven years since he had published his first collection of poetry as 5 an eighteen year old King of Scotland. The sonnet makes not only the explicit claim that the service James did the gods in his earlier poetry enables him to make a wish to them now, but also the implicit claim that his earlier poetry forms the basis for his continuing ability to write sonnets such as this. He is presenting himself in the poem as a poet, through both reference and demonstration, and significantly, despite the context of the parliamentary recess, he is not explicitly portraying himself in the poem as a king and makes no mention of the current political situation. 4 The Poems of James VI of Scotland, ed.

  • Scottish Borderers Between 1587 and 1625
    The chasm between James VI and I’s vision of the orderly “Middle Shires” and the “wickit” Scottish Borderers between 1587 and 1625 Anna Groundwater Scottish History, University of Edinburgh L’élimination du crime le long des frontières anglaises, de pair avec un plus grand sérieux face à ce problème à partir de 1587, fait partie d’une monopolisation générale de l’utilisation de la violence et des procédés légaux par le gouvernement écossais. Au fur et à mesure que la succession de Jacques Stuart sur le trône anglais devenait vraisemblable, le contrôle des frontières s’est accéléré, et les chefs expéditionnaires des raids outre frontières y ont contribué. Aux environs de 1607, Jacques affirmait que les désordres frontaliers s’étaient transformés en une harmonie exemplaire au sein d’une nouvelle unité transfrontalière, les « Middle Shires ». Toutefois, ceci était davantage l’expression de la vision qu’avait Jacques de l’union politique de l’Écosse et de l’Angleterre, contredite par la séparation effective des organisations frontalières écossaise et anglaise, et qui a duré jusqu’en 1624. Cet article examine les transformations de la loi et du crime dans les régions frontalières, ainsi que la détérioration de la perception qu’avait le gouvernement de ces frontières. Those confining places which were the Borders of the two Kingdomes, where here- tofore much blood was shed, and many of your ancestours lost their lives; yea, that lay waste and desolate, and were habitations but for runnagates, are now become the Navell or Umbilick of both Kingdomes […] where there was nothing before […] but bloodshed, oppressions, complaints and outcries, they now live every man peaceably under his owne figgetree […] The Marches beyond and on this side Twede, are as fruitfull and as peaceable as most parts of England.1 o James declared in March 1607 to the English parliament as its members dis- Scussed the merits of union.

  • How English Baptists Changed the Early Modern Toleration Debate
    RADICALLY [IN]TOLERANT: HOW ENGLISH BAPTISTS CHANGED THE EARLY MODERN TOLERATION DEBATE Caleb Morell Dr. Amy Leonard Dr. Jo Ann Moran Cruz This research was undertaken under the auspices of Georgetown University and was submitted in partial fulfillment for Honors in History at Georgetown University. MAY 2016 I give permission to Lauinger Library to make this thesis available to the public. ABSTRACT The argument of this thesis is that the contrasting visions of church, state, and religious toleration among the Presbyterians, Independents, and Baptists in seventeenth-century England, can best be explained only in terms of their differences over Covenant Theology. That is, their disagreements on the ecclesiological and political levels were rooted in more fundamental disagreements over the nature of and relationship between the biblical covenants. The Baptists developed a Covenant Theology that diverged from the dominant Reformed model of the time in order to justify their practice of believer’s baptism. This precluded the possibility of a national church by making baptism, upon profession of faith, the chief pre- requisite for inclusion in the covenant community of the church. Church membership would be conferred not upon birth but re-birth, thereby severing the links between infant baptism, church membership, and the nation. Furthermore, Baptist Covenant Theology undermined the dominating arguments for state-sponsored religious persecution, which relied upon Old Testament precedents and the laws given to kings of Israel. These practices, the Baptists argued, solely applied to Israel in the Old Testament in a unique way that was not applicable to any other nation. Rather in the New Testament age, Christ has willed for his kingdom to go forth not by the power of the sword but through the preaching of the Word.

(Martial, Epigrams, II, 86) ii ABSTRACT The research detailed in this thesis explores the largely uncharted territory represented by the Hawthornden manuscripts (Edinburgh, National Library of Scotland, MSS 2063-67) of William Fowler, Scottish courtier in Edinburgh and London and attached to the court of Queen Anna of Denmark between 1590 and 1612. The research has focused on material evidence of scribal culture, with the aim of clarifying issues of localization of specific texts and typologies of texts in relation to their social, literary and more broadly cultural background. Based on the fragmentary evidence in the Hawthornden manuscript, this project engages in the exploration of one of the “cultural places of the European Renaissance”, focusing on the early Stuart courtly establishment in the first decade of the seventeenth century. The aim is, on the one hand, to close a series of scholarly gaps in the field of manuscript-based studies of the Scottish Jacobean Renaissance, and on the other, to increase our knowledge of British Jacobean cultural life in the broader sense of the word.

It suggests that the debate regarding union between Scotland and England heightened the English sense of nationhood. Parliament’s rejection of an Anglo-Scottish union constituted a response to both James’ Scottish nationality and his vision of England and Scotland as equal partners within a British union, notions that ran counter to parliamentary expectations of English hegemony within the British Isles. In effect, James threatened the notion that the English held of themselves as an elect people. Ultimately, this study argues that James’ reign was a fulcrum that pushed the English to re-evaluate their place within the British Isles. Although political elites re-affirmed the primacy of English cultural and political dominance in the region, many English rejected a more expansive alternate identity in the guise of Britishness.

  • Great Britain/British” from a Brand Perspective - 1603 to 1625
    An analysis of the performance of the term “Great Britain/British” from a brand perspective - 1603 to 1625 By Eric Paterson Hall Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, July 2013 1 Acknowledgements I am grateful to Hertfordshire Business School and the Department of Humanities of the University of Hertfordshire for the support they have provided throughout this project. So many colleagues have been supportive in so many ways that it would be invidious to name individuals. However, I must acknowledge two individuals whose input has been outstanding; my supervisors, Dr Ruth Herman of the Business School and Dr Alan Thomson of the Department of Humanities, whose knowledge, wisdom and encouragement have been invaluable. 2 Abstract The dissertation takes the modern business technique/concept of brands and branding, applies them to a historic case study, the creation by James VI and I of Great Britain from 1603 to 1625, and by doing so throws new light on both. It compares two distinct approaches to branding, unidirectional and social interactionist, postulating that the latter would prove better at explaining the success of the brand Great Britain/British. The case study reveals that neither approach is supported by the evidence. Content analysis shows that there was a lack of awareness of the brand Great Britain/British and an inconsistency in its use, hence neither approach can be sustained. However, the same analysis does show that an alternative brand, England/English, existed in the same time and that this brand provides some limited support for the social interactionist view of brands and branding.

History studies the growth and development of human society from a number of perspectives such as—political, social, economic and/or cultural. From one perspective, historical awareness is a valuable aid in the analysis of present-day problems because historical forces and traditions have created modern life and lie just beneath its surface. From a second perspective, the historical past is an indispensable source of identity and of values, which facilitate social harmony and cooperative effort. Along with this observation, it should be noted that historical study can produce intercultural understanding by tracing cultural differences to their origins in the past. A third perspective on the need for historical awareness is that knowledge of history helps us to learn from the past to make better, more well- informed decisions in the present and the future. The requirement of a course that is historical in method and content presumes that "history" designates a sequence of past events or a narrative whose intent or effect is to represent both the relationship between events and change over time.
