Mary, Queen of Scots: Pride, Passion and a Kingdom Lost | Jenny Wormald
Pickpick

This is not a biography, more an analysis of Mary as a ruler, within the specific Scottish context. It assumes the reader has substantial knowledge of Scottish and English history, however if you persist you can "read around it" and figure out what's going on. Very enjoyable and readable.

Not a very long book, but one that requires a lot of the reader. Wormald focuses very narrowly on Mary‘s actual performance as Queen regnant and far, far less on the romantic or tragic elements of her life. Along the way, Wormald assumes that the reader has a decent grasp of the history and political situation in Stewart Scotland as well as that of France, Spain, England, the Reformation, the Counter-Reformation, and biographies of major players.

balletbookworm If you don‘t, well, that‘s what Google is for. I enjoyed this immensely (and picked it up mostly for the excellent subtitle after getting the rec from Book Riot‘s For Real podcast). (edited) 6y
