If you liked Yiorgos Lanthinos' court psychodrama\xa0The Favourite, you'll love this exploration of the complicated life of James VI and I \u2013 a king who united Scotland and England, persecuted witches, and granted his male favorites extraordinary power and privilege. Come for the court drama and stay for in-depth discussions of primitive accumulation and the question of whether using the word 'gay' to describe a 16th-century monarch makes any sense at all.\xa0\n----more----\nSources:\nAnderson, Perry.\xa0Lineages of the Absolutist State.
