The Love Letters of Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn; With Notes by Henry VIII, King of England

Description

Written between 1527 and 1529, the letters show the king of England doing what private suitors do everywhere: sending love tokens, complaining of separation, and pleading by turns. Read with their context, they are the opening of one of the most famous and disastrous marriages in English history, and the innocence of their tone makes the ending all the harder to read over.

The notes of this edition set each letter beside the shifting politics of the divorce and the court, so that the collection works as both correspondence and compressed Tudor history.

Why readers still come back to it

• Henry VIII’s own courtship of Anne Boleyn, in his handwriting.
• Every letter set in its historical and political context.
• A short, striking read with a famously dark ending.
