LADY JANE GREY: A TUDOR MYSTERY
by Eric Ives
Published by Wiley-Blackwell. 1st. 2009
Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. When Edward VI died, his cousin Jane Grey was proclaimed queen, only to be ousted 13 days later by his illegitimate half sister Mary and later beheaded. In this radical reassessment, Eric Ives rejects traditional portraits of Jane both as hapless victim of political intrigue or Protestant martyr. Instead he presents her as an accomplished young woman with a fierce personal integrity. Burgundy cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w illustrations. xiv and 367 pages including index.
Boards clean. Endpapers lightly marked. Text block has minor foxing/browning. Else contents clean. Pictorial dustwrapper has a tiny closed tear (no loss) to top front flap edge and is a little scuffed to rear panel.
