Book Overview
""The History of Grisild the Second"" is a narrative poem written by William Forrest in 1875. The poem tells the story of the divorce of Queen Katharine of Arragon, the first wife of King Henry VIII of England. The protagonist, Grisild, is a fictional character who is used to represent the suffering of women during this tumultuous time in history. The poem is written in a traditional verse form and is divided into several sections, each of which tells a different part of the story. The language is archaic and formal, reflecting the style of the time in which it was written. The book provides a unique perspective on the events surrounding the divorce of Queen Katharine and the subsequent marriage to Anne Boleyn. It is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the social and political climate of England during the reign of King Henry VIII.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
