Avis sur le produitMary Tudor: England's First Queen by Professor Anna Whitelock (Paperback, 2010)

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!Lire l'avis complet...
