Mary, Queen Of Scots
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
A landmark work of biographical history, Mary, Queen of Scots by Marjorie Bowen chronicles the dramatic and tumultuous life of one of Scotland's most iconic and tragic monarchs. Bowen presents the full arc of Mary Stuart's reign — from her early years as Queen of France to her controversial rule in Scotland, her tempestuous marriages, and her ultimate imprisonment and execution at the hands of her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I. Written with vivid narrative authority, the biography illuminates the fierce political and religious conflicts of sixteenth-century Britain, painting Mary as a figure simultaneously shaped and destroyed by the patriarchal forces surrounding her. Bowen argues compellingly that Mary's downfall was as much the result of political conspiracy as personal misfortune, offering readers an intimate yet historically rigorous portrait of a queen whose legend has endured for centuries.
