The Anne Boleyn Papers

â€¢ First-ever collection of all of Anne Boleynâ€™s letters and the contemporary writings about her.
â€¢ â€˜A very useful compilation of source material on Anne Boleynâ€¦ a well-produced bookâ€™ ALISON WEIR
â€¢ Huge interest in the wives of Henry VIII, and in Anne Boleyn in particular.

Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII, caused comment wherever she went. Through the chronicles, letters and dispatches written by both Anne and her contemporaries, it is possible to see her life and thoughts as she struggled to become queen of England, ultimately ending her life on the scaffold. Only through the original sources is it truly possible to evaluate the real Anne.

George Wyattâ€™s Life of Queen Anne provided the first detailed account of the queen, based on the testimony of those that knew her. The poems of Anneâ€™s supposed lover, Thomas Wyatt, as well as accounts such as Cavendishâ€™s Life of Wolsey also give details of her life, as do the hostile dispatches of the Imperial Ambassador, Eustace Chapuys and the later works of the slanderous Nicholas Slander and Nicholas Harpsfield. Henry VIIIâ€™s love letters and many of Anneâ€™s own letters survive, providing an insight into the love affair that changed England forever. The reports on Anneâ€™s conduct in the Tower of London show the queenâ€™s shock and despair when she realized that she was to die. Collected together for the first time, these and other sources make it possible to view the real Anne Boleyn through her own words and those of her contemporaries.
