Review Quotes: This highly innovative volume offers an unprecedented view of Rizzio as a historical figure rather than a footnote in the story of Mary, Queen of Scots. It also lays bare the rich and fascinating story of his cultural afterlife, from contemporary pamphlets to an extraordinary range of media, literature, and especially music.--Steven J. Reid, University of Glasgow
