Not for negative reasons, but because it shows the effects of the English Reformation on the populace, especially those at the bottom of the food chain. I also got a sense of how the Civil War would come to pass, given the polarization not between the Anglican and Catholic churches but rather between the "third party" Puritans and the Catholics. <br /><br />As far as "marquee names", if I see ONE MORE novel written about a "young lady at court" who just happens to be privy to all of the important moments of the Tudor years - well, the curtains and alcoves in those castles must have been extremely crowded.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17754362705965657383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-68587600956263574452010-06-12T12:32:10.252-05:002010-06-12T12:32:10.252-05:00Thanks for the heads up - I am going to go check o...Thanks for the heads up - I am going to go check out Dunant's article now!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609161113240681299noreply@blogger.com
