Stuarda tells the human and political story of the Queen of Scotland, from her return home after the French interlude to her imprisonment and execution at the hands of the English queen. Her beloved cousin initially welcomes her as she flees from Scotland, but then—struck by a conspiracy in which Mary Stuart participates in the hope of becoming the Catholic queen of England and Scotland—decrees her death. Opposed to the rational and prudent Elizabeth, Stuart lives by passions and impulses, and it is love that weakens her. Intrigues and tragic events shape the course of her life. Lucrèce works on the character of Stuart and the Scottish settings with calligraphic attention to detail, carefully evoking the historical period, blending symbolism and authorial inventions for the character's portraiture.
