As an historical figure Mary Queen of Scots has been perpetually
represented on canvas, page and stage, and has captured the British
imagination since the time of her death in 1587. The real Mary
Stuart however has remained an enigma. This text sheds light on
Mary's life and national identity by exploring four main themes:
the history of Mary's representation in Britain from the late Tudor
period focusing on key periods in the formation of the British
identity and closely analyzing several texts against a background
of the visual, musical and literary works of each period; the
reasons why those representing Mary have been so conscious that her
image was a debateable fiction; the identification of distinctive
symbolic styles, using Mary to reveal the formation of habits of
representation in each historical period; and the link between the
image of Mary Stuart and Britain's long struggle to define itself
as a single nation, focusing on the roles of gender and religion in
this development.
