God's Secretaries: The Making of the King James Bible Nicolson Adam
A network of complex currents flowed across Jacobean England. Jacobean England was both more godly and less godly than the country had ever been, and the entire culture was drawn taut between these polarities. This was the England of Shakespeare, Jonson, and Bacon; the era of the Gunpowder Plot and the worst outbreak of the plague.
It is the greatest work of English prose ever written, and it is no coincidence that the translation was made at the moment "Englishness," specifically the English language itself, had come into its first passionate maturity. This was the world that created the King James Bible. The English of Jacobean England has a more encompassing idea of its own scope than any form of the language before or since.
It drips with potency and sensitivity. The age, with all its conflicts, explains the book.This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into
