Product Information

Mary Tudor was the first woman to be crowned queen of England. Her accession, in the summer of 1553, took place against the odds and it was, in many ways, emblematic of her life. Anna Whitelock's assured, impassioned and absorbing debut tells the remarkable story of a woman who was a princess one minute, feted by the courts of Europe, and a disinherited bastard the next. It tells of her Spanish heritage, the unbreakable bond between Mary and her mother (Katherine of Aragon), her childhood, her adolescence, her rivalry with her sister Elizabeth, and finally her womanhood. It explores the formative experiences that made Mary the determined and single-minded queen she became. She had fought to survive, fought to preserve her integrity and her right to hear the Catholic mass, and finally she fought for the throne. As queen of England, Mary retained her tenacity. She married Philip of Spain against much opposition and struggled passionately to restore Catholicism, the religion to which she had remained true all her life. Yet whilst she was brave as a queen, as a woman she was dependent and prone to anxiety. In an age when marriages were made for political and diplomatic advantage, Mary married a man she truly loved but whom did not share her passion. It is this tension between Mary's dominance as queen and her tragedy as a woman that is crucial to understanding her reign. Her private traumas of phantom pregnancies, debilitating illnesses and unrequited love were played out in the public glare of the fickle Tudor court. The Mary that emerges is not the weak-willed failure of traditional narratives, but a complex figure of immense courage, determination and humanity. Anna Whitelock's biography is an assured, impassioned and absorbing debut.

Avis les plus pertinents

  • A genuinely great book at a great price.

    Queen Mary Tudor sadly remains one of those figures that 'history' has not been kind to, and she has been constantly personified and portrayed as "Bloody Mary", although that was a nickname that was not used until at least over a 100 years after her death. Luckily today there are authors, academics, and historians who now take a far more intelligent and sympathetic view of Mary Tudor and Anna Whitelock is certainly one of those. Anna's book is really excellent, it is not a heavy 'tome' and is a very readable and enjoyable book and I would recommend it to anyone whether they be a casual historian like me, or a more highly qualified reader. This book can be purchased brand new or secondhand on Ebay at a very reasonable price - buy it!
