<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>An intimate portrait of Tudor England captured, revealed and explored in 100 defining objects<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>John Matusiak sets out to shed new light on the lives and times of the Tudors by exploring the objects they left behind. Among them, a silver-gilt board badge discarded at Bosworth Field when Henry VII won the English crown; a signet ring that may have belonged to Shakespeare; the infamous Halifax gibbet, on which some 100 people were executed; scientific advancements such as the prosthetic arm and the first flushing toilet; and curiosities including a ladies' sun mask, "Prince Arthur's hutch" and the Danny jewel, which was believed to be made from the horn of a unicorn. The whole vivid panorama of Tudor life is laid bare in this thought-provoking and frequently myth-shattering narrative, which is firmly founded upon contemporary accounts and the most up-to-date results of modern scholarship.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>John Matusiak</b> is the author of<i> Henry VIII </i>and <i>Wolsey</i>.
