Summary "Queen Mary" by Alfred Lord Tennyson is a historical drama that appears to be penned during the late 19th century. The play revolves around the tumultuous reign of Queen Mary I of England, focusing on her relationships with key historical figures, including her half-sister Elizabeth and the Spanish Prince Philip, culminating in the theme of religious discord and political strife during her rule. The opening of "Queen Mary" introduces us to the atmosphere of London as Queen Mary makes a public appearance, and the citizens engage in spirited debate about her legitimacy as the rightful queen. It sets the stage for the political tensions between Mary's Catholic loyalties and the Protestant sentiments brewing among the public, which would lead to her controversial marriage with Philip of Spain. Characters like Cranmer and Cardinal Pole provide insight into the complexities of the religious conflict of the period, while multiple references to characters such as Elizabeth and Thomas Wyatt indicate a growing rebellion against Mary's rule that hints at the challenges she will face as tensions escalate politically and socially.
