| Abstract: | This paper discusses the relationship between Milton's Samson Agonistes, first published in 1671 and probably written shortly before that, and a tragedy on Mary Stuart written by the Piedmontese Federigo Della Valle. The first known version of this play, Maria la Reina, was completed by the end of 1590, within less than four years of the execution of that unhappy queen. It was much revised by the time of final publication under the title of La Reina di Scozia, in 15271 shortly before the author's death. |
