Summary: A Provocative look
Comment: I was first introduced to "The Protectorate and the Northumberland Conspiracy" through assigned reading in a history course I took in college. Most students agree that assigned reading is typically laborious - not pleasurable and fascinating. This book, however, captured my interest immediately. Professor Brown went to great lengths to detail all the characters and their motivations involved in the power struggle of the Tudor throne. For anyone interested in monarchal legitimacy, religious controversies, power plays, politics, and yes-even sex scandals, this book satisfies in style! I especially like that the author did not dumb down the prose to a basal vernacular, as is common in the literature of our time. Even amongst the opulence of the past, no era is without its controversy, hypocrisy, and turmoil. The six years this book illustrates is packed with drama the likes only seen in Hollywood. Typically, only Henry VIII, Mary, and Elizabeth I are treated as worthy subjects of in depth study. But, Professor Brown has carefully shown that the years in between merit the same attention. As such, "The Protectorate and Northumberland Conspiracy" inspired me to learn more about all of the Tudors legends. I also was able to incorporate the knowledge I acquired through the study of this book in an interview I had at Cambridge University in England!
