Russethouse Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 I'm on page 143 but I find the style a little odd, if I wasn't familiar with some of the characters from other works I think I'd be lost.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Yes, it is rather self-absorbed but I knew the history so was quite at ease. I kept wanting to look again at the film of Thomas More, a Man for All Seasons and books on Cromwell too, just to compare views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Well, wouldn't you believe it, I haven't read this book but I have recently been reading about Henry VIII and now I am on to Charles I and II. So Cromwell features and all that period is indeed fascinating.No getting rid of the monarch for the Brits for a very long time, methinks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Have a ferret through the site of History Today; there are some interesting articles on different monarchs and periods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
