Anne Boleyn B 英文原版

　　Adulteress? Sorceress? Immoral Temptress? No English Queen has
been so persistently vilified as Anne Boleyn. Even after her
execution in May 1536 – on trumped-up charges of adultery – the
portrait that has come down to us is the one drawn by her enemies.
Joanna Denny’s compelling new biography of Anne presents a
radically different picture of her – a highly literate,
accomplished and intellectual woman, and a devout protagonist of
the Protestant faith. It was Anne who played the key role in
separating England from the Church of Rome. Her tragedy was that
her looks and vivacious charm attracted the notice of a violent and
paranoid King Henry – and trapped her in the vicious politics of
the Tudor court. Joanna Denny’s enthralling book plunges the reader
into the fascinating, turbulent time that changed England
forever.

　　Joanna Denny was born near Hever Castle in Kent, Anne Boleyn’s
family home. She has a degree in History and government and a
postgraduate degree in Theology from the University of London. Her
interest in Tudor history was triggered by research into her
ancestor, Sir Anthony Denny, one of Henry VIII’s courtiers. This is
her first work of non-fiction, but she is the author of a fictional
trilogy on the Tudors. She lives near Eastbourne.
