Why didn't the show highlight Anne Boleyn's hatred of Thomas More? She may have had some elements of kindness in her personality, but she hated Thomas More and really pushed to have him executed. She also was very conniving and hateful to Katharine of Aragon. The show seems to have highlighted her more positive attributes and ignored the more hateful aspects of her personality.

Author Leanda de Lisle, who wrote "After Elizabeth", is coming out with a new history, a biography of the Grey sisters: Jane, Catherine, and Mary, entitled "The Sisters Who Would be Queen". It's due for release in the U.K. on September 1, 2008, perhaps later release in the U.S.?
Amazon U.K. is already taking pre-orders, which you can order together with David Starkey's much anticipated "Henry VIII: Virtuous Prince" for a discounted price.

For all you Thomas More Fans, a new non-fiction book on his daugther by John Guy has been released called " A Daughter's Love" which you may want to check out. The review in the Sunday Times was quite glowing. ( I just added it to the Bookshelf) Member reviews would be welcome :)

Just thought I would throw this conversation out about Jane Parker Boleyn (Lady Rochford). I'm currently reading about her by Julia Fox (who is a Tudor Historian and past History Teacher).
I thought I would mention this book to you because of the extroidinary amount of information in this book. Even though it is about Jane Parker Boleyn (Anne's SIL by her brother George) and she covers a large amount of "historical information" but she has done it in such a way, that it is not boring at all and quite an enjoyable read. I know that some Tudor Enthusiasts say that Jane was a spy on her husband & Anne but occording to Julie Fox she wasn't. She was certainly questioned mercilessly by Cromwell and probably said something that was used against them, but nothing she said was news to Cromwell. She did "spy" for Cromwell though when Henry married Jane Seymore and kept Cromwell informed on the Seymore brothers (which allowed her back into Henry's court and graces). Those of you who are Tudor Purists might really enjoy this book since it is not slanted in Henry or Anne's favor and gives a view from a bystander who gained a lot and certainly lost a lot and then had to find a way to survive after the "fall" of her inlaws. There is also insight into Anne & George's "trial" and all involved along with who set in judgement of them.

I am over half finished with the new biography "Jane Boleyn" by Julia Fox. It really doesn't tell much more than we already know about Jane Parker. She is mentioned in relatively few records, and most of that during the trial of Katharine Howard whose amorous exploits she supposedly abetted, so most of what the author has to say so far is what she can infer from records mentioning George and Anne Boleyn. Most of her statements are conjectures such as "Jane was almost certainly...", "Jane would have...", etc. I think this book was a lucrative way to milk the craze generated by the broadcast of "The Tudors" and the movie "the Other Boleyn Girl". There is not enough factual documentation of Jane Boleyn's life to fill a book, so most of it is fluff, such as descriptions of the clothing she would have worn, events in which she may have been present, etc. Does anyone who has read this book agree?
