The Wives of Henry VIII

New York: Alfred A Knopf, 1993. The wives of Henry VIII - Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard and Catherine Parr have come down to us through history narrowly defined by the roles they played in the larger story of the King's life, and most commonly remembered for the manner in which each did or did not survive marriage to him. In this richly and dramatic and singularly illuminating study, Lady Antonia Fraser uncovers the complex and fascinating individuals whose characters have been shrouded for centuries by sterotype and legend. A generous List of Illustrations provided (24 pages), Family Trees, Prologue, five parts covering each wife, an epilogue, references, bibliography and index. These wonderful illustrations are on heavier semi-gloss stock (some in color from paintings). A superb work of history. A great read! A clean, bright copy which promises to please. .
