520 1 $a"The tragic story of the secret marriage of Amy
Robsart to Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, favourite and
potential consort of the Queen, is imbued with the drama of
Tudor England, its exuberance of spirit, vigor of language,
violence and treachery, ostentation and gaiety, shifts and
stratagems, and above all, its pervading sense of
transience. Steeped in and engrossed by historic England,
Scott relished the opportunity to create a pageant of
Elizabethan life." "From the swashbuckling Lambourne to the
Machiavellian Varney, from the vacillating Leicester to Amy
and the Queen herself, Scott grasps something of the
passions of Marlowe, the histrionics of Kyd and the cynicism
of Marston. Kenilworth comes as close to the theatrical and
the melodramatic as Rob Roy or The Bride of Lammermoor, and
Scott's sheer zest in writing is there for any reader to
enjoy."--BOOK JACKET.
