Retha M. Warnicke

    Renomovaná historička so špecializáciou na ranonovovekú Anglickú históriu a rodové otázky. Jej práca sa hlboko ponára do politiky a etikety tudorovského dvora, najmä do života a doby Anny Boleynovej, kde predstavuje provokatívne teórie o jej úlohe. Zaoberá sa tiež analýzou pohrebných obradov jakobínskej éry a širšími rodovými otázkami v ranom novoveku. Jej prístup kombinuje dôkladný výskum s odvážnym prehodnocovaním historických naratívov, čím čitateľom ponúka nové pohľady na kľúčové postavy a spoločenské praktiky.

      The execution of Henry VIII's second queen in 1536 has traditionally been attributed to a conspiracy masterminded by Thomas Cromwell. This radical reinterpretation focuses instead on the many intrigues that pervaded Henry's court. It looks at opinions only of Warnicke - for example, the idea that Anne Boleyn was deformed and had a sixth finger and a wen under her chin.
