The Creation of Anne Boleyn – Have your say!

Dr Bordo's favourite representation of Anne Boleyn

I wanted to share with you a new book entitled ‘The Creation of Anne Boleyn’ that Dr Susan Bordo is currently writing.  It’s anticipated that the book will be published in 2012.

Dr Bordo is a modern feminist philosopher known for her contributions to the field of contemporary cultural studies, particularly in the area of “body studies.”

She has created a Facebook page to document her ‘Anne Boleyn journey’ and is hoping that other Anne enthusiasts will join.

Like so many of us, Dr Bordo has been fascinated by Anne Boleyn for years and has completely immersed herself in Anne’s life.

Susan and her Research Assistant, Natalie, are interested in interviewing women about how they became Anne Boleyn fans. Susan is particularly interested in the views of young women (20 and under) for her book but all ages are welcome to contribute to the page.

An entire chapter will be dedicated to Anne’s fans in the book! Would you like your quote included? This information is provided by Susan’s FB page:

Are you an Anne Boleyn fan? Do you buy Anne Boleyn jewelry on etsy, debate the merits of Natalie Dormer’s Anne versus Natalie Portman’s Anne, or just generally believe that Anne was the best queen England ever had? If you are age 20 or younger, author Susan Bordo would like to talk to you! In her upcoming book The Creation of Anne Boleyn, Susan will write about how people have viewed and talked about Anne over the centuries. She needs interviews with you to understand how young women view Anne today. If you are interested, please convo here! If a long interview is not your thing, be on the lookout for questions from this site’s news feed, and answer as you feel inspired!

Also, if you are over the age of 20, please follow along for updates on upcoming talks with Susan and other publishing updates!
