Books
Once again I have to start out with things that I missed from previous months!
Pirate Nation: Elizabeth I and Her Royal Sea Rovers by David Childs was released in late October in the UK and will be out early in 2015 in the US.
A new biography (maybe the first?) of Sir Henry Lee is out in the UK and is still listed as pre-order for the US (although the release date is listed as October, so I don’t know what’s happening there). Unfortunately it looks like this is a limited printing so it is “academically priced” and is quite expensive. That’s what libraries are for!
Two recent releases on Anne Boleyn and Jane Seymour were released in paperback last month:
Another entry in the “possible Christmas present for people you want to bring into the Tudor history obsession” category, Richard Rex’s Tudors: The Illustrated History, out now in both the UK and US:
And Terry Breverton’s Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About the Tudors but were Afraid to Ask was released in the UK back in October and will be out on December 19 in the US in print.
Tracy Borman’s biography of Thomas Cromwell that was released back in September in the UK is now out at the beginning of December in the US (moved up from a January release, it appears):
