Description
Two queens duel across the sixth volume of Froude's History of England, issued in eighteen sixty. Elizabeth holds England while Mary Stuart, captive and plotting, claims its crown. Their long contest ends at last on the scaffold at Fotheringhay Castle.
Froude makes Mary's captivity and death the dramatic heart of his work. Letters, plots, and trials build toward the fatal warrant and its signing. Statecraft and tragedy merge in his telling of the affair. The volume shows his gifts at their height. Deep research in the archives weds a storyteller's sense of doom, pity, and high political stakes.
