| Summary | "Henry the Sixth: A Reprint of John Blacman's Memoir" by M. R. James is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book presents a reprint of the little-known memoir of King Henry VI, originally authored by John Blacman, a Carthusian monk and close associate of the king. This work likely explores the life and virtues of Henry VI, emphasizing his piety, humility, and dedication to God, as well as the challenges he faced during his reign. The beginning of the memoir introduces Henry VI as a deeply pious and virtuous monarch whose character is underscored by his simple and upright nature, akin to that of the biblical Job. Blacman recounts Henry's devout practices, his humility in worship, and his efforts to encourage virtue among others, while also highlighting his merciful disposition towards those who could have been considered adversaries. The opening sets the tone for a nuanced portrait of a king whose legacy is deeply intertwined with his spiritual life and the trials of his reign, drawing the reader into a detailed exploration of his virtues and trials during his time on the throne.
