I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that BBC History Magazine had a Tudor history special issue coming, and it’s now out in the UK. (I’ve found it usually takes a few weeks to a month to show up on newstands and in bookstores in the US – if anyone has already seen it in the States please post in the comments!)
In addition to the issue, BBC History Magazine launched their first audiobook, a guide to the Tudor Kings and Queens.
More information:
The audiobook features interviews with five leading historians of the period, with each expert discussing the life and times of one of the Tudor monarchs.
* Dr Steven Gunn of Oxford University starts us off with Henry VII
* Professor George Bernard of Southampton University introduces us to Henry VIII
* Reading University
Lara, I’ve found that my local Borders doesn’t have the issues of this for at least a month after the UK release, sometimes more than that. I subscribed to this magazine, and don’t expect the July issue for another week or two. But I can let you know when I do get my issue.
Will have to pick up that audiobook. I do love listening to the podcast
Hello. I live in the States. I would love to own this copy. I love everything about England. The Tudor Dynasty is my favorite time in English history. Could anyone please help me in ordering a copy of this magazine.
Hi Christina,
It looks like you can buy back issues of the magazine, including that one. The info is here: http://www.historyextra.com/magazine/past-issues?page=3 (that’s the page with the specific one you want).
