Mary Queen of Scots
Mary Queen of Scots | Stefan Zweig
4 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
Stefan Zweig's classic biography of one of British history's most fascinating figures, rereleased in a new edition to tie in with launch of the major new Hollywood film, Mary Queen of Scots. From the moment of her birth to her death on the scaffold, Mary Stuart spent her life embroiled in power struggles that shook the foundations of Renaissance Europe. Revered by some as the rightful Queen of England, reviled by others as a murderous adultress, her long and fascinating rivalry with her cousin Elizabeth I led ultimately to her downfall. Zweig, one of the most popular writers of the twentieth century, brings Mary to life and turns her tale into a story of passion and plotting as gripping as any novel.

Saw someone read this on the bus
Normally very uninterested in post - 1066 British royalty, but this seemed good.

Quite a read it was! I do like the novel itself, though Mary Stuart as a character and historical figure is all contradictory. She evokes the whole range of emotions - one moment you are angry and annoyed by her follies, the next you are already full of compassion to her miserable luck 💔 This is a breathtaking story with conspiracies, betrayals and a bit too much of 'excessive passion'.

Slajaunie Her story is an interesting one if frustrating. 6y

When I saw this, I did a happy dance! I adore Stefan Zweig and Maria Stuart is at the top of my to read list. This is a beautiful bound copy from 1958.
