- Title
Steven J. Reid, The Early Life of James VI: A Long Apprenticeship, 1566–1585.
- Authors
Goodare, Julian
- Abstract
Steven J. Reid's book, "The Early Life of James VI: A Long Apprenticeship, 1566–1585," is a scholarly biographical study that explores the personal life of James VI and its intersection with Scottish political history. Reid argues that James had more political influence than previously believed, challenging the assumption that he was under the control of various regents during his early years. The book also delves into James's cultural and literary endeavors, such as his hunting activities and his role as a literary patron. While the book provides valuable insights, it could benefit from more engagement with current scholarly debates and a deeper analysis of religious aspects and James's medical history.
