Book Review: A run-of-the-mill history lesson
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this book because the jacket implied it would enlighten me about the lives of women in the Tudor period, both aristocratic and common. What it actually did was re-tell the story of the Tudor Royal family (again!). I actually did not learn much at all about women in Tudor times (eg what they wore, how they spoke, what they did all day etc), and learned nothing at all about the average 'woman in the street'. OK, the evidence must be pretty scanty, but this is what I believed the book would be about. It wasn't. It was just another re-telling of the Tudors' story(albeit concentrating on the females), and at the end I was just as in the dark about these 15th century women and their day-to-day lives as I was at the beginning.
