Source author's note accompanies Emily Tennyson's Journal entry for 10 April 1874, in which it is recorded: 'Lately we have been reading Holinshed and Froude's Mary, for A. has been thinking about a play of "Queen Mary," [...] For a time he had thought of "William the Silent," but he said that our own history was so great, and that he liked English subjects best, and knew most about them, and that consequently he should do "Queen Mary."' |
