Bookreader Item Preview
xxix, 231 pages : 24 cm
This volume is a feminist reinterpretation of Henry VIII's (1491-1547), the King of England from 1509 until his death, many wives. This work also takes into account the lives of his mother, sisters, daughters and some of the other significant women at court to paint a picture of what it was like to be a woman in the Tudor era. The women who wed Henry VIII are remembered mainly for the ways their royal marriages ended. This book helps to restore full humanity to these six fascinating women by applying the insights of feminist scholarship. Here they appear not as stereotypes, not simply as victims, but as lively, intelligent noblewomen doing their best to survive in a treacherous court
Includes bibliographical references (pages 217-221) and index
