Excerpt from New Poems by James I of England: From a Hitherto Unpublished Manuscript (Add; 24195) In the British Museum The Introduction is intended not primarily as a critical study of James's verse, but as an account of his intercourse with poets and in uence on the development of poetry. It is the product of research begun some time before the discovery of the ms. Poems, and now condensed to make room for their publication. The writer has not felt called upon to attempt a complete or properly proportioned biography, though such a biography is still unwritten,1 but has sought chie y to present, in the light of newly dis covered material, such facts of literary significance as have remained unknown or insufficiently recognized. The study is further confined to the King's relations with poetry, with only incidental attention to his prose writings, his political and theological controversies, or the vexed ques tion of court in uence on the drama. Matters of political and biographical interest (so far as they have no literary bearing) are for the most part treated in the notes at the end of the book, where an account is given of the King's journey to Denmark, his relations with Lady Glamis, the raids of Bothwell, and other episodes dealt with in the poems.
