{"product_id":"the-queen-of-scots-federico-della-valle-9781487544812","title":"The Queen of Scots: La Reina Di Scotia","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the moment of her spectacular death on the scaffold, the story of Mary Queen of Scots became nothing short of a sensation across Europe. She was executed on 8 February 1587, and her death was the climax of a captivity that lasted over eighteen years. Shortly after the event, Federico Della Valle, one of Italy's most accomplished dramatists of the time, composed \u003ci\u003eLa reina di Scotia \u003c\/i\u003e( \u003ci\u003eThe Queen of Scots\u003c\/i\u003e), a tragedy depicting the final hours of the Scottish queen's life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its restrained tone, streamlined action, and refined poetic language, \u003ci\u003eThe Queen of Scots\u003c\/i\u003e ranks among the very best of early modern Italian drama. In this book, Fabio Battista provides an English-language annotated edition of Della Valle's work, accompanied by a comprehensive introduction exploring the fictional afterlife of Mary Queen of Scots from the early modern period to today. The volume also includes the English translation of a widely circulated letter detailing the queen's momentous execution. Made available to an English-speaking audience for the first time, this tragedy is the earliest dramatic reworking of the death of Mary Queen of Scots in a modern vernacular, spearheading a tradition that endures to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Federico Della Valle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487544812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487544812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.14w x 1.02d","brand":"Federico Della Valle","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071504511231,"sku":"9781487544812","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5b82643d-b47b-4f70-87ad-868c00bfc46f.jpg?v=1685436491","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-queen-of-scots-federico-della-valle-9781487544812","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
