Sinopsis

Maria Stuart, described as SchillerâÇÖs most perfect play, is a finely balanced, inventive account of the last day of the captive Queen of Scotland, caught up in a great contest for the throne of England after the death of Henry VIII and over the question of EnglandâÇÖs religious confession.áHope for and doubt about MaryâÇÖs deliverance grow in the first two acts, given to the Scottish and the English queen respectively, reach crisis at the center of the play, where the two queens meet in a famous scene in a castle park, and die away in acts four and five, as the action advances to its inevitable end.áThe play is at once classical tragedy of great fineness, costume drama of the highest order-a spectacle on the stage-and one of the great moments in the long tradition of classical rhetoric, as ElizabethâÇÖs ministers argue for and against execution of a royal prisoner.áááFlora KimmichâÇÖs new translation carefully preserves the spirit of the original:áthe pathos and passion of Mary in captivity, the high seriousness of ElizabethâÇÖs ministers in council, and the robust comedy of that queenâÇÖs untidy private life.áNotes to the text identify the many historical figures who appear in the text, describe the political setting of the action, and draw attention to the structure of the play.Roger PaulinâÇÖs introduction discusses the many threads of the conflict in Maria Stuart and enriches our understanding of this much-loved, much-produced play.á Maria Stuart is the last of a series of five new translations of SchillerâÇÖs major plays, accompanied by notes to the text and an authoritative introduction.
