83. Ibid., 156 , 161 , 167. Macdougall points out that there was“a world of difference
between the remote, aloof James III amassing money from profits of justice
without moving from Edinburgh in the process, and his energetic son, who...
might be expected to appear rapidly in any area in which unrest was likely to have
damaging effects on Crown resources or prestige.”James IV, 304.

points out that the Privy Chamber was not distinguished from the Bedchamber
and Closet in the Scottish court, as it was in the English: even when, in the reign
of James V, French masons completed the palace at Stirling Castle and altered
that of Linlithgow at about the same time,“both provide a Royal Apartment
consisting only of a Garde Hall, Presence Chalmer and Bedchamber with a
garde-robe and oratory behind it. As there is no room to enlarge or develop these
closets, it is clear that the King and Queen of Scots were expected to live, as their
ancestors had done, in their Bedchamber.”“Etiquette and the Planning of the
State Apartments in Baroque Palaces,”Archaeologia 101 ( 1967 ), 169 – 99 ( 180 ).

87. Fredric Jameson draws a connection between the emergence of personalizing
narrative detail in the context of“alife”with bourgeois capitalism:“realism is par
excellence the moment of the discovery of changing time...at one with...a
world of worn things...and those discarded objects that are used-up human
lives”:“Beyond the Cave: Modernism and Modes of Production,”The Horizon
of Literature, ed. Paul Hernadi (Lincoln, 1982 ), 157 – 82 ( 176 ).
