Queen Mary is a dramatic play written by the renowned English poet Alfred Lord Tennyson. The play is set in 16th century England and focuses on the reign of Queen Mary I, who is also known as Bloody Mary due to her persecution of Protestants. The play explores the themes of power, religion, love, and loyalty. The main characters include Queen Mary, her husband King Philip II of Spain, and Lady Elizabeth, who is Mary's half-sister and a Protestant. The play follows the conflict between Mary's Catholic beliefs and her desire to maintain her power and the loyalty of her subjects. The play also depicts the complicated relationship between Mary and Elizabeth, as well as Mary's relationship with her husband. The play is written in verse and is a powerful exploration of the human condition and the complexities of political power.1876. Poet of the Victorian age, who succeeded Wordsworth as Poet Laureate. Queen Mary is one of the series of historical, poetic dramas and other plays Tennyson began in the 1870's. The historical plays called for elaborate and costly staging, and they have seldom been revived since their Victorian productions.
