Bringing together all surviving documents and uncovering a trove of new sources for the first time, Guy dispels the popular image of Mary Stuart as a romantic leading lady--achieving her ends through feminine wiles--and establishes her as the intellectual and political equal of Elizabeth I. \u003cbr\u003e Through Guy's pioneering research and superbly 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. It is an enthralling, myth-shattering look at a complex woman and ruler and her time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The definitive biography . . . gripping . . . a pure pleasure to read. -- \u003ci\u003eWashington Post Book World \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e First published in 2004 as Queen of Scots","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53671414006033,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780618254118.jpg?v=1781516038","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-queen-of-scots-by-john-guy","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
