Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Early Life of Anne Boleyn: A Critical Essay The appearance, within so short a time of one another, of two works of such marked importance as Mr. Brewer´s Reign of Henry VIII., and Mr. Friedmann´s Anne Boleyn -both of them the fruit of long study and of the most elaborate original research -has invested with a new and striking interest the story of one whose sad career has always possessed a romantic charm, and whose rise and fall, as we are now learning, was closely connected with great events at a crisis of our national history. Mr. Gairdner, who, since the appearance of the above works, has briefly written her life for the Dictionary of National Biography, reminds us that "some points in her early history are still beset with controversies." On these I shall here endeavour to throw some fresh light. I have been led more especially to select this subject, because it will be found, I think, to suggest to those of us engaged in the study of history a useful and needed lesson. We shall, on the one hand, be forced to confess that, boast as we may of the achievements of our new scientific school, we are still, as I have urged, behind the Germans, so far, at least, as accuracy is concerned.
