What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A rich and vibrant tapestry.”—The Star-Ledger
“A thoroughly readable and often compelling narrative … Five centuries have not diminished the appetite for all things Tudor.”—Associated Press
“Energetic and comprehensive … [a] sweeping history of the gloriously infamous Tudor era … Unlike the somewhat ponderous British biographies of the Henrys, Elizabeths, and Boleyns that seem to pop up perennially, The Tudors displays flashy, fresh irreverence [and cuts] to the quick of the action.”—Kirkus Reviews
“[A] cheeky, nuanced, and authoritative perspective … brims with enriching background discussions.”—Publishers Weekly
“[A] lively new history.”—Bloomberg
