Hello everyone, My names is James Clinton. I am from Cumbernauld which is just outside Glasgow. The thought of writing a dissertation is giving me anxiety already. I have a few different interests within different time periods. For the most part these involve Royal History. My Thoughts so far involve Anglo-Scottish relations between the Stewarts and the Tudors in the sixteenth century. I am also interested in the relationship that evolved between Mary Queen of Scots and Elizabeth I – Having done some independent research over the summer. Another topic that interests me is the seventeenth century – The English Civil war and the changing attitudes towards the monarchy. I have found online learning a struggle in the autumn semester, mostly due to online reading. I prefer to read a book not through a screen.
