"Scholars now have Warnicke to use as their chief one volume study
of Mary" Julian Goodare, University of Edinburgh In this biography
of one of the most intriguing figures of early modern European
history, Retha Warnicke, widely regarded as a leading historian on
Tudor queenship, offers a fresh interpretation of the life of Mary
Stuart, popularly known as Mary Queen of Scots. Setting Mary's life
within the context of the cultural and intellectual climate of the
time and bringing to life the realities of being a female monarch
in the sixteenth century, Warnicke also examines Mary's three
marriages, her constant ill health and her role in numerous plots
and conspiracies. Placing Mary within the context of early modern
gender relations, Warnicke reveals the challenges that faced her
and the forces that worked to destroy her. This highly readable and
fascinating study will pour fresh light on the much-debated life of
a central figure of the sixteenth century, providing a new
interpretation of Mary Stuart's impact on politics, gender and
nationhood in the Tudor era.
