chapter 9: anne boleyn in twenty-first-century historical fiction
Tags :
overreach and an ‘explicit distaste for female ambition’ indeed
this seems to be the crux of 21st cent Tudor historiography atp ; no ?
CoA married Henry for ‘love’ ; Anne married him for ‘power’
Mary also married stafford ‘for love’ ; so in fictional interpretations mary boleyn is generally written as loyal to CoA somehow .
or her secret ally
much as Jane Seymour is written in fiction and even nonfiction (Elizabeth Norton) as well
