About the Book
Created by the host and producer of the Renaissance English History Podcast, one of the longest continuously running history podcasts in the US, the Henry and Anne Love Journal takes some of the most poignant quotes from Henry VIII's love letters to Anne Boleyn, juxtaposes them against Shakespeare love quotes, and wraps the entire thing in a gorgeous cover inspired by a French 15th century heart shaped Book of Hours.
In the mid to late 1520’s, Henry VIII was falling for Anne Boleyn. He was falling hard. And he wrote a series of love letters to Anne, which both discuss the day to day minutia of their shared goals, and the passion he feels for her. The letters were likely stolen from Anne, and now live in the Vatican library.
The letters from Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn before they were married show the intensity of the passion of their romance, as well as its progression from being a simple attraction on Henry’s part, to an overwhelming love. While it’s easy now for us to look back with the cynicism of 20/20 hindsight, taken on their own, they are a remarkable testament to a love that still fascinates us, five hundred years on.
The journal itself features 120 pages of quotes and narrow ruled pages that have prompts for daily gratitude, and love lists. In the back there are 20 pages with graph paper for all your bullet journaling needs.
