Dr. Peck convincingly challenges the traditional \u003ci\u003eeminence grise \u003c\/i\u003ewho stirred factional strife at court, undermined relations between king and parliament, and stopped at nothing, including murder, to secure his family's advancement. Drawing extensively on Northampton's papers, Dr. Peck offers a more balanced assessment of this important Jacobean courtier who shaped policy and pursued administrative reform as avidly as he sought his own patronage and profit. Unlike traditional biographies, this study is organized topically in order to examine larger issues of policy making and administration in the Jacobean period. This book will be of interest to specialists in Stuart studies, to historians of England, to social scientists concerned with development of early bureaucracy, and all those with a more general interest in Tudor Stuart history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Linda Levy Peck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032440953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032440958\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Linda Levy Peck","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44129153876223,"sku":"9781032440958","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cb9eab38-27ae-48fe-8950-595524e39b33.jpg?v=1687462351","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/northampton-linda-levy-peck-9781032440958","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
