review 1: I absolutely loved this book. A wonderful look at where everything we know about Anne Boleyn comes from and the different views of her through the years. I've always been interested in Anne, especially wanting to know what her daughter, Elizabeth I thought of her. It was fabulous to learn about the sources of information about Anne, and the different "spins" used by various authors. Very well written and riveting for me.
review 2: The title of the first chapter sums up the book very nicely: "Why you shouldn't believe everything you've heard about Anne Boleyn." This is a fascinating deconstruction of what we think we know about this world-changing historical figure and why, and it highlights the ways that her story has been colored, cultivated, and customized th... morerough the eras to reflect general views of women in society at a given time. Bordo analyzes the veracity and motivations of historical/entertainment information sources ranging from from contemporary royal court members to the Showtime series 'The Tudors.' less
