SERIES: Cassell Biographies. SYNOPSIS: The tragic story and complex personality of Mary Stuart, the Queen of Scots, has challenged novelists, poets and historians. Stefan Zweig's brilliant and dramatic biography is one of the most penetrating studies of this proud and passionate woman. A dramatist himself and steeped in the culture and history of Europe, he brings special insights to his account of Mary's childhood at the French court and her brief marriage to the sickly Dauphin. The young widow's return to Scotland, her marriage to Darnley, the horrifying murder of Rizzio, Darnley's death and the shameful marriage to Bothwell, all are recounted with a mounting tension that reaches a climax--after the long years of captivity--in the sombre execution at Fotheringhay in 1587. Stefan Zweig was born in Vienna in 1881 of a wealthy and cosmopolitan Jewish family. He grew up in an atmosphere of enthusiasm for literature, art and music and he was writing and publishing poetry while still a student at the University of Vienna. During the years before the First World War Zweig travelled in Europe, America, India and Africa, writing, collecting, and meeting with most of the eminent figures in the arts. His friends included Freud, Romain Rolland, Maxim Gorky, Thomas Mann and the group of European intellectuals who, after the war, were committed to building a new international order. During the 1920s and the 30s his reputation grew and as well as biographies of Marie Antoinette, Joseph Fouche, Erasmus and Mary Queen of Scots he wrote short stories and the remarkable novel Beware of Pity. In 1934, as the Nazis' power grew in Germany, Zweig left Austria for England, where he became a British citizen in 1940. He took his own life in Petropolis, Brazil in 1942.. Trade Paperback.
