New in Paperback: Jane Boleyn: The True Story of the Infamous Lady Rochford by Julia Fox
Whether you take history teacher-turned-author Julia Fox’s biography of Jane Boleyn as revisionist tw
addle or long overdue understanding for “the infamous Lady Rochford,” Fox’s book is filled with drama, drama, drama. Not inappropriate for a figure history has loved -- and loved to hate -- for centuries.
Fox gives readers a glorious look inside Henry VIII’s court and at his sister-in-law, the other Boleyn girl, Jane.
