Si Marie Stuart (1542-1587), reine de France et d'Écosse, est connue des historiens pour son histoire tragique, en revanche son œuvre littéraire est restée pratiquement inconnue. Élevée à la cour de France sous Henri II, elle apprit à rédiger des lettres et des discours oratoires en plusieurs langues et à composer des poèmes français avec le soutien de Pierre de Ronsard. À partir de documents autographes rarement cités, cette édition critique retrace le cheminement d'une écriture qui, après avoir cherché des modèles à imiter, fit entendre le cri féminin de la passion amoureuse et trouva son expression personnelle la plus émouvante au cours de sa longue captivité en Angleterre.

"In Mary Queen of Scots: The First Biography, Ronald Santangeli has recovered a long-forgotten document of great historiographical, literary and cultural importance. Written in 1624 in Neo-Latin by George Con, a young expatriate Scot in Rome, it is worthy of study, both for its content and its literary dimension. The fully recensed Latin text, is presented with a meticulous translation into English and a fully-annotated commentary. The image Con creates of the Scottish Queen has prevailed in European cultural representations from poetry and drama to novels, paintings and opera, while Con's own meteoric career highlights the impact on 17th century Catholic Europe by members of the Scottish diaspora. A significant addition to Marian and Scottish Neo-Latin studies"--

Mary Stuart has intrigued people since her birth. The significance of the life of Mary, Queen of Scots, though, does not rest simply in the dramatic events of her life: rather, Mary's significance lies in her contemporaries' reaction to her. As a Catholic, a woman and a monarch in sixteenth century Europe, the debates surrounding Mary's life, reign, and imprisonment reveal a world in flux whose members attempted to solve the crises of religion, nationhood, authority, and gender that confronted them.
