Mary Queen of Scots in nineteenth and twentieth century drama

Více o knize

Homage, hatred, and historical license underscore the tragedy of Mary, Queen of Scots. Acclaimed for centuries, her magnetic personna as both a queen and a woman has been immortalized through the works of many world renowned authors. Their vision and recreation of her extraordinary life and death is put into literary and historical perspective for the reader. The quarter centenary of her death (1987) marks her victory as a preeminent figure for all time.
