Book Synopsis King James and the History of Homosexuality by : Michael Young
Download or read book King James and the History of Homosexuality written by Michael Young and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James VI & I, the namesake of the King James Version of the Bible, had a series of notorious male favorites. No one denies that these relationships were amorous, but were they sexual? Michael B. Young merges political history with recent scholarship in the history of sexuality to answer that question. More broadly, he shows that James s favorites had a negative impact within the royal family, at court, in Parliament, and in the nation at large. Contemporaries raised the specter of a sodomitical court and an effeminized nation; some urged James to engage in a more virile foreign policy by embarking on war. Queen Anne encouraged a martial spirit and molded her oldest son to be more manly than his father. Repercussions continued after James s death, detracting from the majesty of the monarchy and contributing to the outbreak of the Civil War. Persons acquainted with the history of sexuality will find surprising premonitions here of modern homosexuality and homophobia. General readers will find a world of political intrigue colored by sodomy, pederasty, and gender instability. For readers new to the subject, the book begins with a helpful overview of King James s life."

Book Synopsis King James and Letters of Homoerotic Desire by : David M. Bergeron
Download or read book King James and Letters of Homoerotic Desire written by David M. Bergeron and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2002-04 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can we know of the private lives of early British sovereigns? Through the unusually large number of letters that survive from King James VI of Scotland/James I of England (1566-1625), we can know a great deal. Using original letters, primarily from the British Library and the National Library of Scotland, David Bergeron creatively argues that James' correspondence with certain men in his court constitutes a gospel of homoerotic desire. Bergeron grounds his provocative study on an examination of the tradition of letter writing during the Renaissance and draws a connection between homosexual desire and letter writing during that historical period. King James, commissioner of the Bible translation that bears his name, corresponded with three principal male favorites—Esmé Stuart (Lennox), Robert Carr (Somerset), and George Villiers (Buckingham). Esmé Stuart, James' older French cousin, arrived in Scotland in 1579 and became an intimate adviser and friend to the adolescent king. Though Esmé was eventually forced into exile by Scottish nobles, his letters to James survive, as does James' hauntingly allegorical poem Phoenix. The king's close relationship with Carr began in 1607. James' letters to Carr reveal remarkable outbursts of sexual frustration and passion. A large collection of letters exchanged between James and Buckingham in the 1620s provides the clearest evidence for James' homoerotic desires. During a protracted separation in 1623, letters between the two raced back and forth. These artful, self-conscious letters explore themes of absence, the pleasure of letters, and a preoccupation with the body. Familial and sexual terms become wonderfully intertwined, as when James greets Buckingham as "my sweet child and wife." King James and Letters of Homoerotic Desire presents a modern-spelling edition of seventy-five letters exchanged between Buckingham and James. Across the centuries, commentators have condemned the letters as indecent or repulsive. Bergeron argues that on the contrary they reveal an inward desire of king and subject in a mutual exchange of love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historie and Life of King James the Sext: Written Towards the Latter Part of the Sixteenth Century The Historie and Life of King James the Sext, is published from a copy of the original manuscript, which David Crawfurd of Drumsoy, historiographer to Queen Anne, employed in compiling his Memoirs of the Affairs of Scotland. In a preface to the first edition (London, 1706), he informs us, after a long invective against Buchanan, that he would be as plain and as brief as possible concerning the memoirs themselves. I had all the substance of these sheets from an ancient Ms. presented me by my very good friend, Sir James Baird, of Sauchtonhall, who purchased it by mere accident, from the necessitous Widow of an episcopal clergyman.

Download or read book The Book of Books written by Melvyn Bragg and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The King James Bible has often been called the "Book of Books," both in itself and in what it stands for. Since its publication in 1611, it has been the best–selling book in the world, and many believe, it has had the greatest impact. The King James Bible has spread the Protestant faith. It has also been the greatest influence on the enrichment of the English language and its literature. It has been the Bible of wars from the British Civil War in the seventeenth century to the American Civil War two centuries later, and it has been carried into battle in innumerable conflicts since then. Its influence on social movements—particularly involving women in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries—and politics was profound. It was crucial to the growth of democracy. It was integral to the abolition of slavery, and it defined attitudes to modern science, education, and sex. As Lord Melvyn Bragg's The Adventure of English explored the history of our language, so The Book of Books reveals the extraordinary and still–felt impact of a work created 400 years ago.
