How to order this book

Contents: Presents a selection from the Brewer’s Calendar of State papers of Henry VIII (1872), with a particular focus on the King’s attempts to divorce Katherine of Aragon in order to marry Anne Boleyn, and his relationship with Cardinal Wolsey. Drawing on private letters and state papers, "The documents are sometimes copies, sometimes translations into modern English and sometimes descriptions of the apparent meaning of the original. It is as if the Commissioner simply wished to provide the reader with the significance of what was found".
