Immaculately researched

Simon Heffer, The Best History Books of 2024, Daily Telegraph

[An] enthralling account... [Susan Doran] writes in a lucid, conversational fashion with an eye for the memorable detail.

Elizabeth Goldring, The Spectator

[An] authoritative and deeply researched history.

Unseen Histories

Se alle

An encyclopedic synthesis of recent research, From Tudor to Stuart will be indispensable for students of the period.

John Guy, Literary Review

From Tudor to Stuart offers much to stimulate - and even to entertain.

Alexander Faludy, Catholic Herald

One of the delightful aspects of this book is the author's flair for cultural history and literary readings alongside her mastery of the politics and economics of the period... From Tudor to Stuart will surely land on every student reading list, not only because of Doran's pedigree, but because it manages to give us a new perspective on an overstudied period.

Kate Maltby, Financial Times

[Susan Doran], a renowned Tudor expert, has transitioned to the Stuarts with ease, writing authoritatively and engagingly, mining an impressive range of primary and secondary sources.

Keith M. Brown , Times Literary Supplement

From Tudor to Stuart provides a learned and judicious guide to English politics that James would have benefited from reading as he travelled south from Edinburgh in 1603.

Clare Jackson, London Review of Books

meticulously detailed... well worth a read.

Michael Walsh, The Tablet

From Tudor to Stuart traces the excitement generated by the arrival of the new monarch and the importance of his early initiatives...James emerges as a sympathetic figure facing significant religious, financial and political problems left at Elizabeth's death.

Jackie Eales, History Today

A fascinating and engaging collection, which will introduce anglophone readers to some important Polish authors, and immerse them in the rich history of the city.

Rob Spence, Shiny New Books

Clare Jackson, London Review of Books

meticulously detailed… well worth a read.

Michael Walsh, The Tablet

This masterful study... demonstrates why Susan Doran is one of the UK's foremost scholars. Brilliantly told and provocative, it questions long-standing assumptions about just how different were the last Tudor and the first Stuart sovereigns of England.

From Tudor to Stuart: The Regime Change from Elizabeth I to James I tells the story of the troubled accession of England's first Scottish king and the transition from the age of the Tudors to the age of the Stuarts at the dawn of the seventeenth century. From Tudor to Stuart: The Regime Change from Elizabeth I to James I tells the story of the dramatic accession and first decade of the reign of James I and the transition from the Elizabethan to the Jacobean era, using a huge range of sources, from state papers and letters to drama, masques, poetry, and a host of material objects. The Virgin Queen was a hard act to follow for a Scottish newcomer who faced a host of problems in his first years as king: not only the ghost of his predecessor and her legacy but also unrest in Ireland, serious questions about his legitimacy on the English throne, and even plots to remove him (most famously the Gunpowder Plot of 1605). Contrary to traditional assumptions, James's accession was by no means a smooth one. The really important question about James's reign, of course, is the extent of change that occurred in national political life and royal policies. Sue Doran also examines how far the establishment of a new Stuart dynasty resulted in fresh personnel at the centre of power, and the alterations in monarchical institutions and shifts in political culture and governmental policies that occurred. Here the book offers a fresh look at James and his wife Anna, suggesting a new interpretation of their characters and qualities. But the Jacobean era was not just about James and his wife, and Regime Change includes a host of historical figures, many of whom will be familiar to readers: whether Walter Raleigh, Robert Cecil, or the Scots who filled James's inner court. The inside story of the Jacobean court also brings to life the wider politics and national events of the early seventeenth century, including the Gunpowder Plot, the establishment of Jamestown in Virginia, the Plantations in Ulster, the growing royal struggle with parliament, and the doomed attempt to bring about union with Scotland.
