About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 57 full-page plates by Edvard Munch, William Hogarth and Thomas Gainsborough. Mary Stuart in captivity at Sheffield and Tutbury, and a girl brought up in a Puritan household who may be the daughter the Queen of Scots lost — a question that draws her into Babington's plot and the trial at Fotheringhay. Yonge wrote from the sources and the state papers; this 1882 novel treats Mary neither as martyr nor as murderess, which in the nineteenth century was almost a political act. Fifty-seven plates after Turner, Gainsborough and their peers carry the sea light and ruined castles of a story lived out along the coast and in the great houses of the captivity.
