Queen Mary of Modena: Her Life and Letters is a biographical account of the life of Mary of Modena, the second wife of James II of England. Written by Martin Haile, this book delves into the personal life of the queen, exploring her upbringing in Italy, her marriage to James II, and her experiences as a Catholic queen in a Protestant country. The book draws heavily on Mary's own letters, which provide a unique insight into her thoughts and feelings. Haile uses these letters to paint a vivid picture of Mary's personality, her relationships with her family and friends, and her struggles as a queen. Throughout the book, Haile also provides historical context, discussing the political and social climate of the time, as well as the religious tensions that existed between Catholics and Protestants. He also examines the role that Mary played in the events leading up to the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which saw James II deposed and replaced by William III and Mary II. Overall, Queen Mary of Modena: Her Life and Letters offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a little-known queen, and sheds light on an important period in English history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
