The Wives of Henry VIII

The Wives of Henry VIIIThe Wives of Henry VIII

The Wives of Henry VIII is a wonderful account of the lives of the six women who married the controversial Tudor king. Antonia Fraser has written extensively on many subjects, but is particularly interested in British royal history. Her writing is clear and accessible, and almost invariably interesting.

  Fraser says 'the six women have become defined in a popular sense not so much by their lives as by the way these lives ended.' Largely, they became identified as stereotypes. Fraser's stated intent in the book is to examine the real women behind the stereotypes, to find the human strengths and frailties behind the historic labels.

George Elliot Middlemarch (Unabridged audiobook with text)

GEORGE ELIOT - MIDDLEMARCH 
(complete, unabridged)      
George Eliot's masterpiece, Middlemarch, embodies through its various couples a nuptial kaleidoscope not matched since Chaucer's Wife of Bath. Conditions surrounding marriages in Victorian times for women were considerably different from what modern readers would surmise. Partly due to the deprivation of an equal opportunity to education, Victorian women were confronted with limited survival tactics.
Beautiful English.
