A propos de cet article

xi, [7], 523, [1] pages. Illustrations. Dramatic Personae. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Black dot on top edge. Linda Porter was born in Exeter, Devon in 1947. On completing her postgraduate work she moved to New York, where she lived for almost a decade, lecturing at Fordham University and the City University of New York. Three of her books have been published and she is currently doing research and writing on a fourth. Porter has had a varied career. She has worked as a journalist and been a senior adviser on international public relations to a major telecommunications company. She has always stayed close to her roots as an historian. In 2004 she was the winner of the Biographers Club/Daily Mail prize which launched her on a new career as an author. Her first book, Mary Tudor: The First Queen was published in 2007. Derived from a Kirkus review: Porter again draws from her exhaustive knowledge of 16th-century British history to explain the strong ties that eventually united Scotland and England. Beginning with the ascent of Henry VII in 1485 and the start of the Tudor dynasty, the author explains the many threats against his reign, including imposters, uprisings and constant border skirmishes. Henry sent his daughter, Margaret, to marry the future James IV, the first step toward union. Porter clearly shows the ways in which Scotland was used by the English and French against each other, always at the expense of the Scots. Henry VIII reigned and was bent on recovering England's territories in France. Regents ruled for James V until he wed Mary of Guise in 1538. That union produced Mary Queen of Scots, widowed Dauphine of France who, at age 24, was a deposed queen facing 19 years of imprisonment. Her son united Scotland and England in 1603. A wonderfully thorough history of the Scot. First U. S. Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].…
