Book Description
Part biography, part cultural history, The Creation of Anne Boleyn is a reconstruction of Boleyn’s life and an illuminating look at her very active afterlife in the popular imagination. With recent novels, movies, and television shows, Anne has been having a twenty-first-century moment, but Bordo shows how many generations of polemicists, biographers, novelists, and filmmakers have imagined and reimagined her: whore, martyr, cautionary tale, proto-“mean girl,” feminist icon, and everything in between. Drawing on scholarship and razor-sharp analysis, Bordo probes the complexities of one of history’s most intriguing women, teasing out what we actually know about Anne Boleyn and what we think we know about her.

I love book like this! There is one about Elizabeth too!
I have a fascination about Anne Boleyn and her life, I love reading about her life with henry viii, which lead to a tragic end, a love story that had many secrets and was never proven if they were truth or lies.
This was already on my Amazon Wish List. Can’t get enough of Anne!
Suites great ! Thank you!

It’s always fun to read about Anne, another great look book.

Fab looking book
It’s really interesting to compare all these diffrent sides of Anne Boleyn, especially now that we have so many book, TV series and films potrayal of her. My personally favourite is Natalie Dormer in The Tudors. She did amazing job is Season 2 and potrayed Anne as a powerful human, player, mother, religious person and a Queen. It is fun to compare this potrayal and its actions and dialogues to the actual actions and dialogues of hers.
