A propos de cet article

Hardback. First Edition. Scotland Under Mary Stuart. Slight shelf wear and a couple of small tears to edge of D/J. Price clipped to D/J. This true picture of a disturbed and remote country in the sixteenth century is one of contrasts and contradictions. Much of the background is sombre, and most of Scotland's history in this century was played against a dark backdrop of unrest and assassination. Yet side by side with this, ordinary people carried out their daily lives. Courtiers wrote lyrical poetry, merchants traded and amassed wealth, and peasants sowed and reaped. Woman sat at their spinning wheels while their husbands died in clan feuds. At court, assassins wore rich velvets imported from abroad, while far away in remote villages wolves threatened village life. Against this picture the author has described in great and colourful detail the way people of all ranks of society lived, their homes, their food and amusements, the ways they earned their living, cared for the sick and punished the offenders. She describes their family life, their religion, the structure and activities of the clans, and the state of the arts. Here, in fact, is the real substance of Scotland at the time of Mary Queen of Scots, the constant object of generations of biographers and novelists. Illustrated. 268 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…
