[EAN: 9781903365984], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [SC: 3.99], [PU: The National Archives], Jacket, 240 p., ill. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Small tears in jacket, slightly rubbed, otherwise very good and clean. / Kleine Risse im Umschlag, leicht berieben, sonst sehr gut und sauber. - Mary Tudor was the first female English sovereigna ruling queen who was not simply the consort of the king. Yet little is known about this complex woman, whose reputation for ruthlessness belied her emotional fragility and who, like her half-sister Elizabeth, had to survive from childhood in the turbulent Tudor court. David Loades explores the twisting path whereby Princess Mary, daughter of a rejected wife and a capricious father, endured disfavour, personal crisis, house arrest, political scheming and potential exile to emerge as queen with huge popular support. The high promise of her reign contrasts with the personal tragedies and political disappointments that followed, from the Smithfield burnings and the loss of Calais to her doomed marriage to Philip of Spain which brought her unhappiness and neglect. Loades' probing yet sympathetic account reveals an intriguing personality, impelled by deep-set beliefs and principles yet uncertain how to behave in a man's' role. No less fascinating than Elizabeth in her contradictions, Mary held an exceptional place in Europe and established precedents for queenly power that 'Gloriana' could later exploit. Vivid documents and a rich array of illustrations complement the human and historical insights to give a fully rounded portrait of the woman and the age. - DAVID LOADES isawidely published historian who has written extensively on the mid-Tudor period. He is one of the leading authorities on the life and reign of Mary Tudor. David is Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Wales, and is currently an Associate of the new Centre for Early Modern History at the University of Oxford. His recent books include Elizabeth I: The Golden Reign of Gloriana (2003), published by the National Archives, Intrigue and Treason: The Tudor Court 1547-1558 (2004) and (with Eamon Duffy) The Church of Mary Tudor (2006).
