Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Mary Queen of Scots, Vol. 1 of 2 A new work on the subject of Mary Queen of Scots runs an imminent risk of being considered a work of supererogation. No period of British history has been more elaborately illustrated than that of her life and reign. She ascended the Scottish throne at a time replete with interest; when the country had awakened from the lethargy of ages, and when the gray dawn of civilization, heralding the full sunshine of coming years, threw its light and shade on many a bold and prominent figure, standing confessed in rugged grandeur as the darkness gradually rolled away. It was a time when national and individual character were alike strongly marked, - a time when Knox preached, Buchanan wrote, Murray plotted, and Bothwell murdered. The mailed feudal barons, - the unshrinking Reformers, founders of the Presbyterian church, and mailed in mind if not in body, - the discomfited, but the still rich and haughty ecclesiastics of the Romish faith, the contemporaries and followers of the stern Cardinal Beaton, - all start forth so vividly before the mind´s eye that they seem subjects better suited for the inspired pencil of a Salvator Rosa than for the soberer pen of history.
