ISBN: 0521406773

Colour illustrated paperback binding. The book has been read but shows minimal signs of handling. "The events which led to the execution of Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's second queen, in 1536 have traditionally been explained by historians in terms of a factional conspiracy masterminded by Henry's Minister Thomas Cromwell." The author's fascinating and controversial reinterpretation focuses instead on the sexual intrigues and family politics pervading the core, offering a new explanation of Anne's fall. -- rear panel blurb History -- Britain Very Good

Elizabeth and Catherine : Empresses of All the Russias
Coughlan, Robert (Gold, Jay -- editor)
ISBN: 0356082636
MacDonald and Jane's London 1975 First Edition
8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Hardcover 800 g; 352 pages, indexed, includes bibliography, genealogical charts, and eight pages of black-and-white reproductions of artworks. Colour illustrated dust jacket. The book looks as if it has been in a smoker's room, with yellowing of the rear panel of the dust jacket, but there is no associated smell. Ownership inscription on the front end page, darkening of the front and top edges of the text block, two tears, at either side of the top of the rear panel measuring approximately 2 inches each, now held together with sticky tape, and rubbing of the top edge of the dust jacket. A digital image can be provided to confirm condition. The author vividly relates the fascinating story of the entwined lives of two of Russia's greatest empresses, Elizabeth, daughter of Peter the Great, was determined to follow his example in making Russia a dominant power in the Western world. For that purpose she not only sees the imperial throne, but selected the youthful Catherine, then a princess in an insignificant German court, as her daughter-in-law and eventual heir. This is the history of how the elder trained the younger in the paths to power and the intricacies of politics and love; Catherine -- the Great -- is perhaps the better known, but it was Elizabeth who taught her how to rule the hearts of men and of her subjects. -- front fold over blurb History -- Russia Good
