‘Tudor Queenship: The Reigns of Mary and Elizabeth edited by Anna Whitelock and Alice Hunt will now be published on 5th November.
Part of the ‘Queenship and Power’ series published by Palgrave Macmillan, the book ‘brings together a selection of recent, cutting-edge research which, for the first time, challenges commonplace arguments about Mary and Elizabeth’s relative successes or failures in order to rethink Tudor queenship.’ (From Palgrave Macmillan.com)
Dr Whitelock informs me that although there is not a specific chapter on Lady Jane Grey, many of the chapters make reference to her and the 1553 coup.
