Hardback Illustrated 1905043031
Published Price £16.99 Our Price £5.99
As the teenage daughter of an East India Company official on St Helena, live was dull for Betsy Balcombe until the arrival of Napoleon in 1815. He became her family's house guest while his prison-home on the island was made ready. Betsy, later Lady Elizabeth Abell, became friends with Napoleon and recorded all in a memoir: the strange story of how a precocious teenager and a fallen emperor talked, argued, played, confided and teased their way through grim years of exile on a barren rock.

Hardback Illustrated 190504304X
Published Price £14.99 Our Price £6.99
In January 1547 a frail nine-year-old became King of England on the death of his father, Henry VIII. Edward VI was to die within six years, but during his short reign he kept a diary that shows a lively interest in matters of state, with Edward describing events such as the Norfolk rebellion, keeping a keen eye on France and Scotland and gleefully recording the fate of traitors. The diary offers both an intriguing chronicle of Tudor life and an important historical record of six years of English history by a boy king at its hub.

Qty
Paperback Illustrated 1903470099
Published Price £20.00 Our Price £6.99
The portrait of Henry VIII in the Walker Gallery in Liverpool was derived from an original by Holbein, painted in 1537 onto the walls of Whitehall Palace. Although Holbein's image of the swaggering, majestic bully was destroyed more than 300 years ago, it still influences popular perceptions of this most notorious monarch. This study follows the history of the painting and the various copies, and the recent investigation of the Walker copy during the process of conservation. The book accompanied an exhibition in 2003.

The fundamental intellectual revolution which took place across Europe in the late 17th and 18th century transformed Western thought and ushered in an era characterized by rationalism and tolerance, boundless curiosity and experiment in all spheres of human experience. In sumptuously illustrated and wide-ranging chapters devoted to architecture, science and medicine, the family, society, and exploring the self, Dorinda Outram puts these classic Enlightenment themes into their social, political, artistic and cultural contexts.
