Reseña del editor:

THE QUEEN'S TRAGEDY is Robert Hugh Benson's third in a series of novels designed to tell the story of the English Reformation from the Catholic point of view. Benson handles a difficult subject with skill and compassion, succeeding in breaking through centuries of prejudgment and propaganda about Mary Tudor, one of the least popular of England's rulers.

Reseña del editor:

Gonville College lay in shadow beneath a rosy evening sky as the door from the hall opened, and a young man in a masters gown and cap ran out and across the cobbles, followed by half a dozen others. He waved his hand hurriedly as they called after him, shouted something back, and disappeared into a staircase-door in the chapel corner. Supper had been done ten minutes before; and the half-dozen sisars had been eyeing the cooling dishes regretfully as the old Master, standing up in his place, had told to the company the news for which they had almost forgotten to look. It was now nearly a year since the fierce doings of the previous summer, when Cambridge had been full of Northumberland ssoldiers, and theD uke himself had been taken inK ings College, and sent with the ViceC hancellor and others up to London for trial; and the whole place had hummed with gossip, and reverberated with the tramp of armed men. Their own College too had distinguished itself. Master Guy Manton, one of their Fellows, had ridden out to Sawston through the gloom of the July night, to take news toM ary Tudor that an assault on her lodging was imminent.
