Título: Anne Boleyn & Elizabeth I
Autor: Tracy Borman
Sinopse: 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 Britains legendary Tudors centers around the dramas surrounding Henry VIII and his six wives and Elizabeth Is 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 Henrys 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 Annes 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 Britains religious traditions, and her years of wielding power over a male-dominated court provided an inspiring role model for Elizabeths glittering, groundbreaking 45-year reign. Indeed, Borman shows how much Elizabethmost visibly by refusing to ever marry, but in many other more subtle ways that defined her courtwas influenced by her mothers legacy. In its originality, Anne Boleyn & Elizabeth I sheds new light on two of historys most famous womenthe 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.

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora Grove Press costumam oferecer experiências de leitura marcadas por narrativas densas, muitas vezes com personagens complexos e conflitos morais profundos. O catálogo traz desde histórias que exploram o peso da memória e da culpa em cenários realistas, até obras que se aventuram em territórios do surreal e do fantástico, como o uso do realismo mágico para revelar segredos do passado. Há também uma atenção evidente a temas sociais e políticos, como a luta por liberdade, as tensões raciais e culturais, e os dilemas da identidade, apresentados com um tom que varia entre o trágico, o satírico e o crítico. A linguagem pode ser elaborada e reflexiva, com ritmo que ora é cadenciado e contemplativo, ora rápido e irônico, como em narrativas que misturam humor ácido e suspense.
