Soft cover. Etat : Good. 1st Penguin Edition. Paperback. The Lisle Letters. Message to previous owner to inside cover. Some names to inside back cover. Slight crease to corner back cover. Very slight browning to edges of pages through age. Forward by Hugh Trevor-Roper. An intimate, immediate and wholly fascinating picture of a f…amily in the reign of Henry VIII. The publication of the six-volume edition of The Lisle Lerrers was a major historical and literary event. Nearly two thousand superbly edited letters linked to Muriel St. Claire Byrne's illuminating commentary yielded a treasure-trove of social, cultural and historical facts about that glittering and treacherous era. Against this shifting background of Tudor politics and court intrigue the Lisles spring to startling life: Lord Lisle, the 'gentle' illegitimate son of Edward IV, Honor, his passionate ambitious wife, and john Husee, their faithful, devoted and charming servant. Illustrated. 549 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
