Mary Queen of Scots

Examining visual, musical and literary works from the late Tudor period to the

First World War, Mary Queen of Scots traces a nation’s long romance with the

queen it once rejected.

Considering both mainstream works (from Edmund Spenser to Sir Walter

Scott) and the attachments to Mary that have been formed and sustained by

certain subaltern groups, particularly women, Jayne Lewis explores both Mary’s

life and the myth that formed about her and shows how Mary’s prevailing image

as a sexualized mother has made her a complicated object of political and personal

desire. Lewis demonstrates how this desire emerged at a formative moment in the

history of modern Britain and, over time, subliminally shaped that very history.

Jayne Elizabeth Lewis is Associate Professor of English at the University of

California, Los Angeles.
