"This important and engaging volume asks crucial questions about the meaning and exercise of power of the Tudor and Stuart consorts. Carefully nuanced studies interrogate the individuality and agency of the women and men-some well-known, others remarkably little studied-who fulfilled this role in the premodern period. Critically, this impressive collection offers a far deeper and much-needed analysis of the office of consort, recognising it as a critical component of early modern monarchy." (Susan Broomhall, Australian Catholic University, Australia)
"These readable and incisive essays bring to life the astonishing range of consorts in the Tudor and Stuart periods, including the six wives of Henry VIII, two foreign princes, and even the wives of Oliver Cromwell and his son. Consorts' fertility (or lack of it) shaped national stories, but this collection shows that they mattered in other ways too and how they contributed to the political, cultural, and religious life of England and Scotland." (Lisa Hopkins, Sheffield Hallam University, UK)

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
