A Bibliography of Works Relating to Mary, Queen of Scots, 1544 1700 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from A Bibliography of Works Relating to Mary, Queen of Scots, 1544 1700 While among the authors who have contributed to it are to be found men celebrated in the ranks of literature - as historians, poets, critics, dramatists, and novelists - many books are to be noted written by men little known in the world of letters, thus testifying to the world-wide interest which the history and misfortunes of the unfortunate Queen have called forth. In the following pages an attempt has been made to enumerate the books printed between the date of Queen Mary's birth and the year I 700, which treat of the various branches of her history. Many of these books are commonly to be met with; others are of such rarity that they must be searched for in cabinets of the curious, or on the shelves of the choicer of the public libraries.

The Tragic Histories of Mary Queen of Scots, 1560-1690


Book Description

Author John Staines here argues that sixteenth- and seventeenth-century writers in England, Scotland, and France wrote tragedies of the Queen of Scots - royal heroine or tyrant, martyr or whore - in order to move their audiences towards political action by shaping and directing the passions generated by the spectacle of her fall. In following the retellings of her history from her lifetime through the revolutions and political experiments of the seventeenth century, this study identifies two basic literary traditions of her tragedy: one conservative, sentimental, and royalist, the other radical, skeptical, and republican. Staines provides new readings of Spenser and Milton, as well as of early modern dramatists, to compile a comprehensive study of the writings about this important historical and literary figure. He charts developments in public rhetoric and political writing from the Elizabethan period through the Restoration, using the emotional representations of the life of this tragic woman and queen to explore early modern experiments in addressing and moving a public audience. By exploring the writing and rewriting of the tragic histories of the Queen of Scots, this book reveals the importance of literature as a force in the redefinition of British political life between 1560 and 1690.
