Queen of Scots（ISBN=9780618619177） pdf mobi txt word epub 下载 2024

In the first full-scale biography of Mary Stuart in more than

thirty years, John Guy creates an intimate, gripping portrait of

one of history's greatest women and depicts her world and her place

in the sweep of history with stunning immediacy. Bringing together

all surviving documents and uncovering a trove of new sources for

the first time, Guy dispels the popular image of Mary Queen of

Scots as a romantic leading ladyachieving her ends through feminine

wiles and establishes her as the intellectual and political equal

of Elizabeth I. Through Guy's pioneering research and "fabulously

readable" prose, we come to see Mary as a skillful diplomat,

maneuvering ingeniously among a dizzying array of factions that

sought to control or dethrone her. An enthralling, myth-shattering

look at a complex woman and ruler and her time, Queen of Scots

"reads like Shakespearean drama, with all the delicious plotting

and fresh writing to go with it" (Atlanta

Journal-Constitution).
