pearl35 's review for:
The Lost Tudor Princess: The Life of Lady Margaret Douglas
by Alison Weir
Weir continues to mine the Plantagenet tree, this time for the biography of Margaret Douglas, daughter of Henry VIII's sister Margaret. Douglas' presence at court during the divorce and remarriages should be more informative than it is, but the only real value-added here is the analysis of the Devonshire manuscript for the courtly, romantic thinking of the circle of young people Douglas belonged to in the 1520s. Weir also resolutely ignores the new research on Anne of Cleves and Katherine Parr treating them as people with their own agency, rather than the ugly Flanders mare and the cowed nursemaid.
