Items related to Mary, Queen of Scots (Now a Major New Film): 8
Mary Stuart Queen of Scots has long been portrayed as one of history's romantically tragic figures. Unlike biographies of Mary predating this work this masterly study set out to show Mary as she really was - not a romantic heroine but the ruler of a European kingdom with far greater economic and political importance than its size or location would indicate. Wormald also showed that Mary's downfall was not simply because of the `crisis years' of 1565-7 but because of her way of dealing or failing to deal with the problems facing her as a renaissance monarch. She was tragic because she was born to supreme power but was wholly incapable of coping with its responsibilities. Her extraordinary story has become one of the most colourful and emotionally searing tales of western history and it is here fully reconsidered by a leading specialist of the period. Jenny Wormald's beautifully written biography will appeal to students and general readers alike.
