Excerpt from Bothwell: A Tragedy
You have no faith 5 you steer by sight, and see This fellow gilt and garnished with her grace Sit covered by the queen where lords stand bare And jet before them lordlier and the sight Makes firm your faith that in his hand and eye This land is but a harp to play upon, Whose strings may turn to serpents or to swords To maim his hand or charm his eye to death. You have no faith to see this, or to read The sentence that ensuing shall write me king, And worth men's fears or faiths 10, now you laugh, As though my hope were braggart, and myself A fool and mouthpiece of its foolish vaunt You have no faith.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, a powerful dramatic telling of Mary Queen of Scots' reign, explores themes of love, betrayal, and the fraught nature of power. As a historical woman whose life has long been shaped by perspectives partial to either her guilt or innocence, this book includes a rich exploration of Mary's interiority and the many complex forces at play in her world. The author, a master of historical fiction, sets this against the broader context of 16th-century Scottish history, a time of religious and political upheaval, when powerful men and women played out their ambitions on a world stage. An exploration of Mary's psyche, this book offers a fresh and insightful consideration of a crucial period in Scottish history.
