This is a lovely account of the strange afterlife of Mary Queen of Scots in the English historical and libidinal imagination, from the reign of Elizabeth through the reign of Victoria. Lewis writes a luminous, intelligent prose that radiates a deep affiliation with her subject. This is a scholarly book, not a novel, bio or pop analysis. Expect some psychoanalysis, and some difficult formulations.
