Summary:
"
Anne
Boleyn
may be best known for losing her head, but as Tudor expert Tracy Borman reveals in a book that recasts
British
history
, her greatest legacy lies in the path-breaking reign of her
daughter
,
Elizabeth
. Much of the fascination with Britain's legendary Tudors centers around the dramas surrounding Henry VIII and his six wives and
Elizabeth
I
's rumored liaisons. Yet the most fascinating relationship in that historic era may well be that between the
mother
and
daughter
who
, individually and collectively,
changed
the course of
British
history
. The future Queen
Elizabeth
was not yet three when her
mother
,
Anne
Boleyn
, was beheaded on May 19, 1536, on Henry's order, incensed that she had not given him a son and tired of her contentious nature.
Elizabeth
had been raised away from court, rarely even seeing
Anne
; and after her death, Henry tried in every way to erase
Anne
's presence and memory. At that moment in
history
, few could have predicted that
mother
and
daughter
would each leave enduring, and interlocked, legacies. Yet as Tracy Borman reveals in this first-ever joint portrait, both women broke the mold for
British
queens and for women in general at the time.
Anne
was instrumental in reforming and reshaping
forever
Britain's religious traditions, and her years of wielding power over a male-dominated court provided an inspiring role model for
Elizabeth
's glittering and unprecedented 45-year reign. Indeed, Borman shows how much
Elizabeth
-- most visibly by refusing to ever marry, but in many other more subtle ways that defined her court -- was influenced by her
mother
's legacy. In its originality,
Anne
Boleyn
&
Elizabeth
I
sheds new light on two of
history
's most famous women -- the private desires, hopes, and fears that lay behind their dazzling public personas, and the surprising influence each had on the other during and after their lifetimes. In the process, Tracy Borman reframes our understanding of the entire Tudor era."--Publisher.
