Bringing together all surviving documents and uncovering a trove of new sources for the first time, Guy dispels the popular image of Mary Queen of Scots as a romantic leading lady -- achieving her ends through feminine wiles -- and establishes her as the intellectual and political equal of Elizabeth I. <p/>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. Queen of Scots is an enthralling, myth-shattering look at a complex woman and ruler and her time. <p/>"The definitive biography . . . gripping . . . a pure pleasure to read." -- Washington Post Book World <p/>"Reads like Shakespearean drama, with all the delicious plotting and fresh writing to go with it." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution <p/>John Guy is a fellow in history at Clare College, University of Cambridge, and the author of several books, including the best-selling textbook Tudor England.
