- Synopsis
- "The Wives of Henry VIII" interweaves passion and power, personality and politics, into a superb work of history. Under Antonia Fraser's intense scrutiny. Catherine of Aragon emerges as a scholar queen who steadfastly refused to grant a divorce to her royal husband; Anne Boleyn is absolved of everything but a sharp tongue and the inability to produce a male heir; and Catherine Parr is revealed as a religious reformer with the good sense to tack with the treacherous winds of the Tudor Court. And we gain fresh understanding of Jane Seymour's circumspect wisdom, the touching dignity of Anne of Cleves, and the youthful naïveté that led to Katherine Howard's fatal indiscretions.
