The Tragical History of Mary Queen of Scots inserted among the lines of the the Shakespeare, Marlow, Spencer, Greene, Peele, Burton, Johnson, and from Francis Bacon's known works is a complete play needing no revisions to be readable. Bacon wanted his story to be made available for every one and h made no request for his Shakespearian style to be preserved. This tragedy has both historical and literary value. Even though we know the outcome Bacon holds the reader in suspense for a surprise ending. Historically Mary is known as a tragic character but in this play we are allowed to see behind the scenes. This book is Shakespeare at his finest as a story teller. The interpreted Shakespeare is still poetic. The extra good news seeing the play performed some day.
