Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Henry the Eighth and His Court, Vol. 1 of 1: An Historical Romance In the opinion of the authors of this volume, the province of the Historical Romance is to show you the heart of history, and to bring near to you what else would stand so far off. Although some of its objects may be to throw light on the dark places of history, to group historical characters according to their internal natures, and to discover and expose the motives which impelled individual personages to the performance of great acts, yet others more important remain. One of these is the presentation of history in a dramatic form and with animated descriptions. It is of less consequence whether the personages actually spoke the words or performed the acts attributed to them; but it is necessary that those words and deeds should be in accordance with the spirit and character of such historical personages, and nothing be attributed to them which they could not have spoken or done. The circumstances and events presented must be in accordance with historical tradition. Subsequent investigations, since these pages were given to the press, may have modified the historical aspect of the character of Henry VIII., but it is sufficient to say that these were unknown at the time when the work was written, and the aim of the authoress has been to delineate that character as represented by the standard English historians.
