The mythic element cannot be eliminated out of history. Men who play leading parts on the world’s stage gather about them the admiration of friends and the animosity of disappointed rivals or political enemies. The atmosphere becomes charged with legends of what they have said or done—some inventions, some distortions of facts, but rarely or never accurate.

About the Author James Anthony Froude; 23 April 1818 – 20 October 1894) was an English historian, novelist, biographer, and editor of Fraser's Magazine. From his upbringing amidst the Anglo-Catholic Oxford Movement, Froude intended to become a clergyman, but doubts about the doctrines of the Anglican church, published in his scandalous 1849 novel The Nemesis of Faith, drove him to abandon his religious career. Froude turned to writing history, becoming one of the best known historians of his time for his History of England from the Fall of Wolsey to the Defeat of the Spanish Armada. Inspired by Thomas Carlyle, Froude's historical writings were often fiercely polemical, earning him a number of outspoken opponents. Froude continued to be controversial up until his death for his Life of Carlyle, which he published along with personal writings of Thomas and Jane Welsh Carlyle. These publications illuminated Carlyle's often selfish personality, and led to persistent gossip and discussion of the couple's marital problems.

The Divorce of Catherine of Aragon: Good History, Convoluted Writing (17 July 2014) By Bookwarmer If you want to learn about the divorce of Catherine of Aragon and Henry VIII (and even some about Anne Boleyn) you can find some good historical information in this book.This book relies heavily on the insights & writings of Eustace Chapuys, the Spanish Ambassador to Henry's Court during this time period.One thing I liked about this book was the synopsis at the beginning of each Chapter. If I want to go back later and find some particular thing discussed in the book, this makes it easier to locate.The words the author uses (many long out of date; Latin words with no translation; & words that don't show up in on-line dictionaries) and the way he constructs the sentences in the book left my head spinning. I kept asking myself: "Did he really just say what I thought he said?" I re-read MANY paragraphs trying to determine what exactly was being said; even then I was not sure a lot of the time.I thought I had a good grasp of the history involved in this book before I read it. However, I learned many things in this book and have a whole new perspective of Henry VIII. One thing I had forgotten was that Catherine of Aragon was the daughter of the Spanish Monarchs: Ferdinand & Isabella (of Columbus fame).I recommend this book for students of English History and those studying about the history of liberty & freedom; but not for relaxing reading.I plan to read this book again. I am sure I will remember things better after I do.I got this book on a free Kindle Book Offer.

Extremely Interesting Historical Account of the tragic life of Catherine By D.L.Lawrence Catherine of Paragon became very interesting to me in studying Henry the 8th. This book was very interesting. I felt that it was an accurate account of the awful way Henry treated her and of what seemed to be her genuine effection for King Henry. I will buy more of this authors books.
