Mary Stuart
Alexandre Dumas
Book Overview:
The third volume is devoted to the story of Mary Queen of Scots, another woman who suffered a violent death, and around whose name an endless controversy has waged. Dumas goes carefully into the dubious episodes of her stormy career, but does not allow these to blind his sympathy for her fate. Mary, it should be remembered, was closely allied to France by education and marriage, and the French never forgave Elizabeth the part she played in the tragedy.

The next day, which was Saturday, March 9th, 1566, Mary Stuart, who had inherited from her father, James V, a dislike of ceremony and the need of liberty, had invited to supper with her six persons, Rizzio among the number. Darnley, informed of this in the morning, immediately gave notice of it to the conspirators, telling them that he himself would let them into the palace between six and seven o’clock in the evening. The conspirators replied that they would be in readiness.
The morning had been dark and stormy, as nearly all the first days of spring are in Scotland, and to. . . Read More

Classified as fiction, but it reads more like a 19th Century "true crime" docudrama of 16th Century events. I'm not sure whether Dumas serialized this or when he was writing it, stopped partway through and then returned to it later. For the first 100 or so pages, it's pretty much straight history, a

Nessa obra de Alexandre Dumas, que conta os percalços e tragédias dessa rainha, fica ainda mais claro que seguir seu coração pode ter medidas irreparáveis, mas que nos tornam quem nós somos. Ma
