This book is a fascinating exploration of the life of Mary, Queen of Scots, and the way she has been portrayed by various English historians. Meline argues that Mary has been unfairly maligned and that her legacy deserves a reevaluation. He also critiques the work of James Anthony Froude, a prominent historian who had a negative view of Mary.
