In this novel and unique exploration of England’s Tudor dynasty, Christina Faraday uses the art of the era—both images and objects—as a means of investigating every facet of the period. As well as deconstructing sometimes familiar portraits of Tudor kings, queens and noblemen, Faraday will bring a forensic eye to bear on a broad and heterogeneous array of artifacts—charters, clocks, cushions, coins, devotional artworks, furniture, jewels, manuscripts, miniatures, sculptures, scrolls and tapestries—thereby providing the reader with a vivid and detailed feel for the political, social, economic and cultural texture of sixteenth-century England. Hardcover, 448 pages.
