Ingram

A biography of Mary Queen of Scots captures the essence of the impulsive and beautiful Scottish queen who lost a throne for love and whose power struggle with Elizabeth I of England ended with her beheading. Reprint. NYT.


From the Back Cover

“A book that will leave few readers unmoved.”
— San Francisco Chronicle

“She was sometimes reviled as a scheming whore, sometimes revered as a misunderstood martyr. But she was invariably regarded as fascinating. Antonia Fraser’s richly readable biography demonstrates that Mary’s great fascination continues unabated.”
— Time

“One of the most fascinating figures in history.”
— The Columbus Dispatch

“Compassionate, illuminating, rich in human interest.”
— The New York Times

“With grace, sensitivity and a sharp eye for detail, Lady Antonia Fraser has succeeded not only in recapturing the real Mary from the symbol but also in illuminating the chaotic age in which she lived.”
— Newsweek

3.0étoiles sur 5 Good, but biased., Juil 21 2006
Par Barxrockingm (Wolfville, NS) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Mary Queen Of Scots (Paperback)
This is a very readable book; it doesn't get bogged down in politics like a lot of royal biographies do. The thing with Mary, Queen of Scots, is historians/authors either love her or hate her, and Fraser obviously loves her. She goes into a lot of detail trying to disprove gossip that built up about her over the centuries, which is fine, she obviously did her research, but I just feel that she ignored some things. Like her relationship with Bothwell (historians either love or hate him, too). Whether or not you believe in the authenticity of the "Casket letters", Mary was in love with him, at least at first. That being said, this is still the definitive biography of Mary and an enjoyable read.

This review is from: Mary, Queen of Scots: A Poetry Anthology (Hardcover)
After having read many biographies on Elizabeth I, I decided I should now take a look at the view point of her rival, Mary. Indeed, it was eye opening.

Frasier does an excellent job at making sure that no details are left out. She takes the time to look at each side of the coin, dismissing blatant rumors and indicating was is fact and what is mere speculation. She also leaves no thread loose, making sure to add a footnote to even minor characters of interest so that the reader may know of what happened to them. Indeed, her research is thorough, and lacks a lot of the nagging questions about people and events I find that I have when I read biographies written by other writers.

Yet despite all of the heavy reading, the narrative does not lag, but is fresh and interesting.

My only complaint was the untranslated French phrases. Even with the assistance of several French-to-English dictionaries, I often had a hard time finding specific words or phrases. Yet this was a minor annoyance, and did not interefere with the quality of the work as a whole.

For those looking for a detailed and thrilling biography, I highly recommend this book.
