The Fifth Queen Crowned
The final volume of Ford’s acclaimed trilogy about Katharine Howard, the doomed fifth wife of Henry VIII, follows her brief, perilous reign as queen amid the deadly intrigues of the Tudor court. Ford renders the religious conflict, ambition, and treachery of the age in richly atmospheric prose, portraying Katharine as an idealist destroyed by a world of ruthless power. Vivid and psychologically acute, the novel brings the drama of Reformation England intensely to life. A distinguished work of historical fiction by one of the important novelists of the early twentieth century, The Fifth Queen Crowned is a haunting portrait of innocence and integrity caught in the machinery of Tudor politics.
