Articoli correlati a Henry VIII: King and Court
This magnificent new book is Alison Weir's greatest achievement: a detailed biography of Henry VIII, set against the cultural, social and political background of his court - the most magnificent court ever seen in England - and the splendour of his many sumptuous palaces. Seen from this new perspective, Henry VIII emerges as a fully-rounded and realistic personality, not the two-dimensional caricature of popular misconception. This book is not just an entertaining narrative packed with colourful description and a wealth of anecdotal evidence, but a comprehensive analytical study of the development of both monarch and court during a crucial period in English history. As well as challenging some recent theories, it offers controversial new conclusions based on contemporary evidence that has until now been overlooked. This is a triumph of historical writing which will appeal equally to the general reader and the serious historian.

Recensione:
"Alison Weir is one of our best popular historians and one, moreover, with an impressive scholarly pedigree in Tudor history - her latest offering is a very fine book." (Frank McLynn Independent)
"Weir has used colourful, fresh material (much of it from unpublished archives and letters), to recreate early sixteenth-century European life and thought, within which she sets the larger-than-life figure of the king-a compelling, readable account of the life and times of the king who put England firmly on the map of power politics." (Lisa Jardine Literary Review)
"A glittering evocation of the Tudor Court, its splendour as well as its vulgarity - a responsive, rounded portrait." (Daily Telegraph)
