书籍简介

一本引人入胜、发人深省的苏格兰玛丽女王囚禁传记。

在 1587 年于福瑟林海城堡被处决之前，苏格兰玛丽女王被囚禁了近二十年。她在自己的房间里写了无数封信，其中许多都使用复杂的密码加密，以防止她的通信被拦截。通过这种方式，她即使在被监禁期间也能用语言来发挥自己的意志和影响力。

在玛丽去世 400 多年后，人们发现了更多加密信件，这再次引起了人们对她在囚禁期间加密信件广度的兴趣。

在《俘虏女王：苏格兰女王玛丽的解密历史》中，历史学家兼玛丽信件专家 Jade Scott 博士根据玛丽的数百封信件和寄给她的信件，生动地描绘了历史上引人注目的人物之一。她审视玛丽在监禁期间与朋友和敌人的复杂关系，阐明了她的战略专业知识，并以精彩的方式生动地展现了玛丽被囚禁的过程。

A fascinating and revealing new biography of Mary Queen of Scots in captivity.

For almost two decades before her or execution at Fotheringhay Castle in 1587, Mary, Queen of Scots was a prisoner. From her chambers, she wrote countless letters, many encrypted using complex ciphers to prevent her communications from being intercepted. In this way, she used language to exert her will and her influence, even while incarcerated.

More than 400 years after Mary’s death, the discovery of further encoded letters has led to renewed interest in the breadth of her encrypted correspondence in captivity.

In Captive Queen: The Decrypted History of Mary, Queen of Scots historian and expert on Mary’s correspondence Dr Jade Scott draws on hundreds of Mary’s letters and those sent to her, to paint a vivid portrait of one of history’s most compelling figures. She interrogates Mary’s complex relationships with friends and enemies throughout her imprisonment, illuminating her strategic expertise and bringing Mary’s captivity to life as never before.
