Why is Anne so compelling? Why has she inspired such extreme reactions? What did she really look like? Was she the flaxen-haired martyr of Romantic paintings or the raven-haired seductress of twenty-first-century portrayals? (Answer: neither.) And perhaps the most provocative questions concern Anne s death more than her life. How could Henry order the execution of a once beloved wife? Drawing on scholarship and critical analysis, Bordo probes the complexities of one of history s most infamous relationships. \u003cbr\u003eBordo also shows how generations of polemicists, biographers, novelists, and filmmakers imagined and re-imagined Anne: whore, martyr, cautionary tale, proto mean girl, feminist icon, and everything in between. In this lively book, Bordo steps off the well-trodden paths of Tudoriana to expertly tease out the human being behind the competing mythologies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBordo s sharp reading of Boleyniana and her clear affection for this proud, unusual woman make this an entertaining, provocative read. \u003ci\u003eBoston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003ePart biography, part cultural history, \u003ci\u003eThe Creation of Anne Boleyn\u003c\/i\u003e is a reconstruction of Boleyn s life and an illuminating look at her very active afterlife in the popular imagination.
