Book
1603. Elizabeth I dies and with her, the Tudor line comes to an end. England is plunged into crisis. Into this time of uncertainty comes James I, arriving in London after an unprecedented procession from Scotland. In taking the throne, he established a new dynasty and the first 'united' kingdom of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales was born. The Stuarts had arrived. But first, this new 'Great Britain' had to play catch up. In 'The Rising Sun', Anna Whitelock provides a unique global retelling of the reign of the first King of Great Britain. Long overshadowed by the glory of Elizabeth and fatal nadir of Charles I, the Jacobean period was one of huge cultural, political and global significance.
