Queen of Scots, The True Life of Mary Stuart

Queen of Scots, The True Life of Mary Stuart

by John Guy

  • BIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR
  • 2005
  • PAPER
  • 608 PAGES

A biography and passionately argued defense of Mary Stuart by British historian and Cambridge fellow John Guy. Winner of the 2004 Whitbread Award for biography. Guy's dramatic narrative of the power struggle between Mary and Elizabeth Tudor (which ended with Mary's beheading), portrays the Scottish queen in a far less scandalous light than previous accounts, attributing her downfall to political and religious factors rather than poor personal choices.  (SCT82, $16.95)
