An interesting account of the Tudor period, because it focuses on different aspects of the history than usual. I hadn't realized how important the Grey sisters were in the continuing discussion of the succesion - or why. There seem to be two titles: Lady Jane Grey and the House of Suffolk and Lady Jane Grey: Nine days Queen. The first is a better description of the contents. ( ) Much of the heart of this book reads like a fairly brisk account of the mid-Tudor period, rather than a biography of the subject, who is barely mentioned for long periods in the book, though I accept relatively few details of her early life are known. The author's style is rather sparse and there could be a little more analysis rather than just straightforward description, especially in the first half of the book. Finally, I was a little annoyed by the author's anachronistic use of terms like "left wing" and "right wing" to describe the religious views of various figures. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
For most, the name of Lady Jane Grey means the "nine days queen," the child who was used as a pawn in the power politics of the Tudor realm by both her parents and the Northumberlands. This volume tells the tragic story of Jane's life and death, but also reveals her to be a woman of unusual strength of conviction with an intelligence and steady faith beyond her years. It also provides insight into the least known of Henry VIII's wives, Katherine Parr. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
