Other influential anti-James histories written during the 1650s include: Sir Edward Peyton's "Divine Catastrophe of the Kingly Family of the House of Stuarts" (1652); Arthur Wilson's "History of Great Britain, Being the Life and Reign of King James I" (1658); and Francis Osborne's "Historical Memoirs of the Reigns of Queen Elizabeth and King James" (1658). David Harris Willson's 1956 biography continued much of this hostility. In the words of historian Jenny Wormald, Willson's book was an "astonishing spectacle of a work whose every page proclaimed its author's increasing hatred for his subject". Since Willson, however, the stability of James's government in Scotland and in the early part of his English reign, as well as his relatively enlightened views on religion and war, have earned him a re-evaluation from many historians, who have rescued his reputation from this tradition of criticism.
