'The author does a wonderfu job of teing a gripping story that aso gives a sense of the compexity of the reign and the period .Students who read this wi be we instructed about a very significant period of Engish history – and they wi be entertained as we.' – Anne McLaren, University of Liverpoo, UK Henry VIII was one of Engand’s most unforgettabe monarchs. He was at once inspiring, menacing and perpexing to his contemporaries, and his reputation remains both impressive and enigmatic. Lucy Wooding's timey study provides an insightfu and origina portrait of this arger-than-ife figure, and of the many paradoxes of his character and reign. Buiding on significant advances in recent research to put forward a distinctive interpretation of Henry’s compex character and remarkabe stye of kingship, Wooding ocates him firmy in the context of the Engish Renaissance and the fierce currents of reigious change that characterized the eary Reformation. Compete with coour iustrations, this compeing new biography gives a fresh portraya of Henry VIII, cutting away the miseading mythoogy in order to provide a vivid account of this passionate, wifu, inteigent and destructive king.

Index ‘As a primer in the key deveopments and personaities of the period the book works exceenty. As we as providing a reiabe, conventiona narrative there are usefu digressions into everything from Tudor food to Tudor cimate. Most winningy of a, the book recognises that the centra interpretative chaenge for anyone writing about Henry is to expain how he mutated from a earned, attractive, doted-upon young king into someone regarded by many of his subjects - and many modern historians - as itte more than a tyrant ’ – The Tabet ‘Lucy Wooding’s readabe one-voume study comprehensivey updates J.J. Scarisbrick’s cassic 1968 biography and defty charts a midde way through ongoing controversies. Unike some other discussions of the king, it gives due weight to the years 1509-1525.’ – History Review ‘Lucy Wooding covers the whoe reign, necessariy drawing on others’ work, expounding and reviewing it in a way that students wi greet with joy.
