Mary, Queen of Scots by Rosalind K Marshall

Mary, Queen of Scots by Rosalind K Marshall

Mary, Queen of Scots, that most charismatic of monarchs, has been much written and speculated about. Was she betrayed, condemned by her cousin Elizabeth, or was she a murdering adulteress with her husband's blood on her hands? This book, specially written to accompany the exhibition of the same name (National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh, 28 June-17 November 2013, takes a fresh look at Mary, using over 120 objects associated with her - jewels, textiles, furniture, documents and portraits from Scottish and international collections. This is the first major exhibition of Mary, Queen of Scots artefacts for more than a century and the book provides an authoritative analysis of what is authentic and what is not.

This magnificently produced book has been specially written and published to accompany the exhibition, Mary, Queen of Scots: 'In My End is My Beginning' -The result is a triumph. Just over half the book comprises a beautifully illustrated biography of Mary Queen of Scots. There are more in-depth biographies available in bookshops, but the account you find here is extremely well written and gives the reader all they really need to know. The use of outstanding and highly relevant illustrations, all of pictures or objects featured in the exhibition, really helps give life to Mary's story, and to the objects you can see in the exhibition itself. - The result is a book whose value and interest will extend beyond the life of the exhibition it accompanies.
