The Story of the Death of Anne Boleyn is a critical edition and
translation of a long narrative poem written by the secretary to
the French ambassador in London within two weeks of Anne Boleyn's
execution. It was intended as a diplomatic dispatch, relating the
astonishing news of the queen's demise (along with that of five
alleged lovers). Uniquely among diplomatic correspondence, this
dispatch was written in verse form. It thus straddles the domains
of literature and history, of chronicle and fiction. The base text
for this edition is a previously unstudied manuscript housed at the
British Library. Variants are given from all other known
manuscripts found in Europe, including several key verses that were
previously unpublished and that shed new light on the
interpretation of the poem. The book features a sense-for-sense
translation into modern English in free verse form, along with
extensive explanatory notes. It also provides a study focusing on
the historical background to the poem, an essay on the poet and the
reception of his work, and a literary analysis of the poem.
