Description
Mary Tudor: A Reassessing of the Monarch Behind the Myth. For centuries, Mary I of England has been portrayed as a ruthless and superstitious ruler, infamous for burning hundreds of her subjects at the stake in an attempt to restore Catholicism. This reputation, often referred to as 'Bloody Mary', has endured despite being largely based on misconceptions and misrepresentations. This book offers a fresh perspective on Mary's reign, tracing the growth of the myth from Elizabethan times to the present day. By examining the political, religious, and gender assumptions that underpin the legend, the authors aim to uncover the 'real' Mary - an educated, pragmatic, and resourceful queen who has been overlooked by history. Through a balanced and revisionist approach, this volume sheds new light on one of England's most misunderstood monarchs.
