![]() ![]() She loved deeply and hated deeply she acted rashly and plotted she saved some and condemned others. Here we saw a woman who wasn't a Protestant martyr or the Great Whore. Though the series was greatly flawed and the first season's version of Anne was flatly written and saved largely by Natalie's acting, the second season saw an amazing creation (again, largely thanks to Natalie interfering and speaking to the writers). In my opinion, the best fictional portrayal of Anne was Natalie Dormer's in The Tudors. To be honest, I'm kind of surprised that Longshore wanted to attempt tackling Anne at all, considering how many passionate opinions exist concerning this one woman. I would say that she's tied with Cesare and Lucrezia Borgia for my favorite historical figure, and certainly she's my favorite king or queen.Īnne Boleyn is a much-covered-though very rarely effectively-figure, and she's also extremely difficult to master. She was what got me interested in history, and arguably the trigger for my subsequent passion for feminist study of historical women. Though no scholar, I've been hooked on this woman's life since I was eleven. I am not patting myself on the back when I say I know a lot about Anne Boleyn. ![]() Once again, I feel that I need to preface my review with a bit of background. ![]()
