Descripción: A bold new analysis of one of history's most misrepresented women.History has lied.Anne Boleyn has been sold to us as a dark figure, a scheming seductress who bewitched Henry VIII into divorcing his queen and his church in an unprecedented display of passion. Quite the tragic love story, right?Wrong.In this electrifying exposé, Hayley Nolan explores for the first time the full, uncensored evidence of Anne Boleyn's life and relationship with Henry VIII, revealing the shocking suppression of a powerful woman.So leave all notions of outdated and romanticised folklore at the door and forget what you think you know about one of the Tudors' most notorious queens. She may have been silenced for centuries, but this urgent book ensures Anne Boleyn's voice is being heard now.#TheTruthWillOut Críticas "This book is an exposé, revealing for the first time, uncensored evidence that shows the truth about Anne Boleyn's life and the suppression and censorship of a powerful woman...So much passion has been poured into this book by Hayley Nolan in a need to rewrite some wrongs...If history is your thing, you'll be hooked. There's so much to sink your teeth into." --Fat Cats and Good Books"Fluently written, and full of a lot of humour...This book was fully engaging, and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in this period of history. It's also very accessible, so regardless of your prior knowledge of the period, you will learn a lot from Nolan's work." -- Stacked Shelves"The way we understand history affects the way we understand the world. Minimising and even romanticising domestic abuse through history sends harmful messages about what is acceptable and what is a serious crime. Women's Aid is raising awareness of this with Hayley Nolan, who is examining Henry VIII's harassment and murder of his wife Anne Boleyn, and challenging the way that her story has been told in history." --Adina Claire, acting co-Chief Executive of Women's Aid Biografía del autor Hayley Nolan is the historical researcher, writer and presenter of hit social media mini-series The History Review, which reached 3 million viewers in its first year.
