| Summary | "Cours familier de Littérature - Volume 27" by Alphonse de Lamartine is a monthly literary review written in the mid-19th century. This volume features a detailed account of the historical figure Marie Stuart, Queen of Scotland, exploring her life and the tumultuous events surrounding her reign. The text delves into themes of power, betrayal, love, and tragedy, presenting an intriguing portrait of a queen who faced numerous challenges in both her personal and political life. The beginning of the text provides a vivid depiction of the aftermath of the murder of Lord Darnley, Marie Stuart's second husband, and the ensuing chaos in Edinburgh. It presents a dramatic narrative of Marie's emotional turmoil and public humiliation, culminating in her controversial marriage to Bothwell, the prime suspect in Darnley's murder. The opening sets the stage for Marie's tragic downfall, highlighting her struggles against political intrigue, the pressures from both her supporters and enemies, and her eventual imprisonment. With a sense of urgency and tension, the narrative foreshadows the catastrophic events that will unfold in her life, making it a compelling introduction to this historical review.
