The British Library has made available some fantastic podcasts associated with the ‘Henry VIII: Man and Monarch’ exhibition. The latest one added to the collection is a talk by historian Alison Weir in which she discusses Anne Boleyn’s imprisonment and execution. This is in connection to her next book titled ‘The Lady in the Tower: The Fall of Anne Boleyn’.
You can also learn about intimate details of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII’s relationship revealed in messages inscribed in Anne’s Book of hours.
For a full list of podcasts visit the British Library.
Disappointed that this link doesn’t work. Any advice for accessing this podcast, and others like it, would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Hi Theresa,
I have added the link again, sometimes they expire. Enjoy! Natalie
Hello Natalie,
I stumbled across this site and discovered the Alison Weir podcast (2009) about Henry VIII and his wives, her latest book about Ann Boleyn’s execution etc. However, it won’t work and I noticed another recent (2012) message to you asking the same thing. You mentioned that you had done another link but I am still unable to access it. I would so love to hear any of these talks especially a I have already most of the books by Alison Weir, who is an amazing historian. Can you please help?
Many thanks,
Denise Robbins
Hi Denise,
It’s a little strange, as the link works for me. Hmm, try this link: http://britishlibrary.typepad.co.uk/henry/2009/08/new-podcast-alison-weir-on-anne-boleyn.html
Hope that works for you!
Hi, Natalie
I was just listening to the podcast and was wondering if you know where to find the transcript for it? I am currently doing a project on Anne Boleyn for Year 12 History Extension and the transcript would be so much better for me to look at than just listening.
Thankyou Jaydene
Hi Jaydene, I haven’t come across a transcript but if I do I will be sure to let you know. Good luck with your project! 🙂
