Oblong 8vo. (7.3 x 4.8 x 0.3 inches) . Profusely illustrated with artwork in color. Translated and Edited by Robin Bell. Language: English. Weight: 6.5 ounces. This translation was first published in hardcover by Pavilion in 1992. Paperback. This volume contains a complete collection of Mary Queen of Scot's poetry, much of which was composed at crisis points in her life. The original French is included, along with historical notes. Excellent book with both the English and French versions of this poetry. Touching, even heart-wrenching poetry from the heart of one of mankind's most beautiful souls. This woman was such a treasure: betrayed, slandered and misunderstood. Full of Queen Marie's sonnets and portraits of her and her times. It's also presented with a very attractive font on high-quality paper. The layout is efficient, with the originals in French and the translations in English supplemented by short historical sketches to provide background and context. I had not known the extent to which Mary expressed herself through poetry. And it’s all wonderful stuff, full heart-wrenching pathos from a soul locked in a prison tower for over two decades as she works through a range of emotions and comes to terms with her approaching execution. Her verses to Elizabeth I were interesting because Mary was seen as a rival for the throne of England. But my favorites were the lines shining with puns and wordplay, betraying her humor and quick wit. Ordered by her aunt to write a few lines in her Mass Book, she plays on the word ‘order’ in French: "Si ce lieu est pour écrire ordonné" . "Et que nul temps m’en ôte l’ordonnance." ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 112 pages First Edition Thus (1991), so stated. First Printing indicated by acomplete numerical sequence; First Printing.…
