J.A. Froude's Mary Tudor: Continuum Histories (Continuums Histories) [Paperback]

Eamon Duffy (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 1441186859 | ISBN-13: 978-1441186850 | Publication Date: January 4, 2010

J.A. Froude was one of the finest English literary stylists of the Victorian age. But he was highly critical of Mary Tudor, whose reign he viewed as something of a disaster. Eamon Duffy takes a very different view and so this book will spark off even more controversy about this most maligned of English monarchs.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Thoroughly enjoyable ... Froude's prose is very entertaining ... hats off to Duffy, the least likely champion of this now neglected historian, for reminding us of this fact.
