ANNE BOLEYN: A New Life of England’s Tragic Queen

New biography which present’s Henry VIII’s second Queen as a sympathetic woman caught in conflicts beyond her control. The King’s love for Anne brought her the Crown and her Country the Anglican Church - but cost her life.

Anne Boleyn is one of the most tragic figures of English history. The dark lady who caught the roving eye of a lusty young Henry VIII, her refusal to emulate her sister Mary and simply become the king’s mistress brought her the Crown, created the Church of England and touched off the English Reformation - but ultimately cost her her life. Her daughter, Elizabeth became England’s greatest Queen. Now Anne’s story is told anew in a sympathetic biography which draws on Tudor documents - including Henry’s passionate, pleading love letters - to present a convincing portrait of a woman who, far from the bewitching schemer of legend, emerges as vivacious, learned, courageous and devout.
