"The Last Days of Mary Stuart, and the Journal of Bourgoyne Her Physician" by Samuel Cowan is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the tumultuous final months of Mary, Queen of Scots, detailing her imprisonment, political intrigue, and the actions taken against her by Queen Elizabeth I and her advisors. The narrative not only explores Mary's personal trials but also sheds light on the political machinations of the time, particularly through the lens of Bourgoyne, her physician. The opening of this narrative sets the stage for the tragic denouement of Mary Stuart's life, capturing the oppressive atmosphere that surrounded her during her long captivity. It begins with a preface that establishes the significance of Bourgoyne's journal, suggesting it holds important insights into Mary’s struggles during her imprisonment, as well as the sinister plots against her orchestrated by Elizabeth and her council. As the story unfolds, we are introduced to the key players in this historical drama: Lord Burghley, Secretary Walsingham, and the cruel jailer Sir Amias Paulet, who all play pivotal roles in sealing Mary's fate. The emotional weight of Mary's plight is palpable, and her letters reflect a desperate hope for justice amid escalating treachery, creating a poignant backdrop for the tragedy that ultimately leads to her execution.
