Elizabeth Norton writes accessible British history, specialising in queenship, Tudor women and the lives surrounding the English royal court. The Lives of Tudor Women builds a social history from women at many levels of society, from queens and noblewomen to servants, rebels and working women. The Temptation of Elizabeth Tudor examines the young Elizabeth's dangerous involvement with Thomas Seymour after Henry VIII's death, while biographies of Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Parr and Margaret Beaufort focus more tightly on individual careers and reputations. Norton's books combine documentary evidence with a straightforward narrative style aimed at general readers rather than only academic specialists. They fit Tudor history, royal biography, women's history and social history, particularly for readers wanting more context around figures encountered in Tudor historical fiction. Read more Less
