ANNE BOLEYN: An Anne Boleyn Biography
She is one of history's most fascinating people, a complex woman of light and shadows, whose character seems to be dependent upon the eye of the beholder. Was she a romantic and ultimately tragic figure, who had loved earnestly but paid with her life for caring for the wrong man?
Was she, instead of being innocent, a cunning and ambitious predator willing to use her charm and sexuality in pursuit of power, and paid just as ruthlessly as she played? Did she desire only personal gain, or did she have a wider, reformist agenda, overreached her bounds and thus had to be unseated? Or was she just a pawn to the games of a ruthless court, discarded at the end of her usefulness?
Sinner or saint, victim or villain, pawn or proto-feminist, how could the same woman somehow be looked upon in such different ways? She is adored. She is vilified. She was even loved and ordered killed by the same man. This is her story...
