King James I belongs to a group of poets called Makars and described as Scots Chaucerians. This description is often criticized as denying the original nature of their poetry. These poets from Scotland were also influenced by earlier poets from Scotland like Barbour and also the courtly literature of France.
Since James Fenimore Cooper, Washington Irving and Nathaniel Hawthorne were influenced by Sir Walter Scott, perhaps they could be categorized as American Waverleys. ?
