This is basically a trashy tabloid with a historical bent, and as someone with a historical bent who loves trashy tabloids, I was in heaven reading this book. The king who took his wife's ex-husband's 16 year-old daughter as a ward, engaged her to his son, and then promptly started having a hot and steamy affair! The queen who fell in love with her (heterosexual) lady-in-waiting and maneuvered her into a decades-long sexual affair! Oooh, scandals galore. The book was everything I had hoped for, and more. ( ) This is trashy history at its finest. I am pleasantly surprised to find Carroll's history is good--she admits when facts are unclear, and reminds readers of possible bias from sources. She's aware of the newer theories about each figure as well. That said. This is still trashy trashy trashy, the "chick-lit" version of actual scholarship. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Royal unions have always been the stuff of scintillating gossip, from the passionate Plantagenets to Henry VIII's alarming head count of wives and mistresses, to the Sapphic crushes of Mary and Anne Stuart to the scandal-blighted coupling of Prince Charles and Princess Diana. Thrown into loveless, arranged marriages for political and economic gain, many royals were driven to indulge their pleasures outside the marital bed, engaging in delicious flirtations, lurid love letters and rampant sex. On these pages the arousing history comes alive. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
