Anne Boleyn & Elizabeth I: The Mother and Daughter Who Forever Changed British History

byTracy Borman

Tudor historian Tracy Borman examines Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth I as a mother and daughter connected across separation, execution, and political memory. Although Elizabeth was a small child when Anne died, Borman traces the people, objects, beliefs, and reputational battles through which her mother's influence endured. Anne's religious commitments, courtly networks, and challenge to convention helped shape the world Elizabeth inherited. The book recasts two familiar lives as one historical relationship, showing how the queen often distanced herself publicly from Anne while carrying elements of her legacy into a transformative reign.
