Synopsis
Excerpt from Life of Mary Stuart: Queen of Scots
IF anoth er Homer were to arise, and if the poet were to seek another Helen for the subject of a modern epic of war, religion, and love, he would beyond all find her in Mary Stuart, the most beau tiful, the weakest, the most attractive and most attracted of women raising around her, by her irresistible fascinations, a whirlwind of love, ambition, and jesl onsy, in which her lovers became, each in his turn, the motive, the instrument.
