Résumé
This contribution constitutes a considerable claim to innovation. Richard Hillman's Introduction to The Queen of Scotland, with which the author hoped to gain favour with Mary Stuart's son, James I of England (James VI of Scotland), situates the play in the context of its complex and highly charged political contexts, as mediated by discourses dealing with Mary's execution (1587). The contexts brought to bear on Hector in the second Introduction are more strictly literary, although they have ethical and philosophical implications.
They also serve as background to the proposition that, if not actually composed in the wake of Montchrestien's Trojan tragedy, Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida gains depth from a reading in its light.
