Tudor Week 2023:

Day 5: Most Used Tudor Related Resource: A Non-Comprehensive List of My Favorite Tudor Books

I know I said this wasn't comprehensive, and it really isn't; I used 63 secondary sources and 9 primary source collections for my novel alone. These are just my favs, the ones I go back to regularly, plus one surprise. Warning: this is a long post. *crying emoji*

Tudor England: A History - Genuinely the best one-volume history of Tudor England out there. If you're a Tudor buff, GET THIS BOOK!!! There's not only refreshingly balanced interpretations of every Tudor monarch, but Wooding is careful to focus on ordinary people in Tudor England, with chapters dedicated to their religion, literature, relations with the wider world, authority and dissent, and more! Plus, the footnotes and Further Reading are an absolute delight, chock-full of fascinating research. This is academic history at its absolute best.

The Tudor Chronicles - Ever forgot what important stuff happened in Tudor England in 1505? 1563? 1589? This is the book for you. It's a year-by-year look at Tudor history. This was an invaluable book while writing the novel; it really provided a chronological framework on which I could structure the story. Absolutely essential.

Henry VIII by J.J. Scarisbrick - Despite being published in 1968, this remains a classic biography of Henry VIII, one of the very best out there. While Scarisbrick has aged poorer in some areas than others (i.e. his underestimation of Anne Boleyn and Catherine Parr), his treatment of Henrician foreign policy and the struggle for the annulment has IMO never been bettered. Plus, he has a whole chapter on matrimonial canon law if you want to better understand the background to Henry's quest for an annulment from Catherine of Aragon.

Henry VIII by Lucy Wooding - I actually think Wooding is a better biography of Henry than Scarisbrick, if only because this was published in 2015. Understanding yet never excusing Henry, and with balanced and well-argued interpretations of every historiographical controversy in his reign, this is a book I keep coming back to! Plus, she manages to be sympathetic to Catherine, Anne, and Henry in the Great Matter, no small feat.

Henry VIII: The Mask of Royalty - A bit of an odd book, this is a psychological profile of Henry in his last years, 1540-7. Nevertheless, Smith is careful to never armchair diagnose Henry with anything, but rather bring out facets of his personality which are often ignored, like his obsession with honor and deep-rooted conviction in his close relationship with God as an anointed monarch. This was really helpful in fleshing out Henry as the main character in my novel.

Henry VIII: The Decline and Fall of a Tyrant - If Lacey Baldwin Smith focuses mainly on Henry's psyche from 1540-7, Robert Hutchinson provides a more general picture of these last years. He's particularly insightful on Henry's declining health, his war with France, court factionalism, and the economic woes England faced as a result. I wasn't as familiar with the non-matrimonial aspects of Henry's reign when I was writing the novel, so this book proved a godsend to me.

Six Wives - I know, I know, David Starkey is a racist POS. But he somehow managed to make the (so-far; I hope Suzannah Lipscomb will change this) best overview of the six wives. Weir is downright unreliable and Fraser repeats a number of myths and is a strong CoA partisan. It's Starkey who debunks myths and offers intriguing interpretations of everything from the dating of Anne and Percy's relationship to proof of Foxe's story of Catherine Parr's near-arrest.

Catherine of Aragon by Giles Tremlett - Why it took seventy years to supersede Gareth Mattingly's biography on Catherine, I don't know, but Tremlett did it. This is a richly detailed, fair book on Catherine, and while he is sympathetic to Catherine, he doesn't present her as a plaster saint. Still, it's hard to feel anything but admiration for her after this biography. This is the closest book we'll get to knowing her as a person.

The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn by Eric Ives - This book deserves to be called "the Anne Boleyn bible". An underrated feature of this biography is its fascinating and insightful analysis of Anne's faith, presenting convincing evidence of her evangelical beliefs, and her artistic patronage. Even if I don't agree with his theory of her fall, this is still the best Anne biography out there.

Jane Seymour and Anne of Cleves by Elizabeth Norton - In a small field of books about these two queens, Norton manages to produce the best ones. Due to the paucity of evidence, there's naturally a lot of speculation and use of "might have", but she does the best of any book at producing a picture of these two queens as actual people (with thorough citations to boot).

Young and Damned and Fair by Gareth Russell - I feel I should clarify that I don't agree with Russell's analysis of Catherine Howard's relationship with Manox and Dereham; it was not consensual (although I think Dereham groomed her into thinking it was). That being said, Russell sweeps away many of the myths and misconceptions about Catherine to present a very empathetic, yet never biased book about this tragic queen. Plus, he includes a wealth of details about court life and anecdotes about Catherine not found in other bios.

Catherine Parr by Susan James - James is practically the expert on Catherine Parr; it was James who really proved that Catherine was far more passionate and lively than popular belief has it. Thus, it's no surprise this biography is superb. James is particularly good on Catherine's 1544 regency, household, and her Protestant beliefs, really giving you a detailed picture of her faith.

Letters and Papers (L&P) of Henry VIII and the Calendar of State Papers, Spain (CSP Spain) - These two Victorian primary source collections are invaluable resources for researching Henry's reign. They're collections of summaries (and sometimes transcripts) of primary sources for Henry's reign. This is the bedrock of nearly all books about his reign, so much so that excerpts of it are part of my set texts for next term. Plus, there's so much in it; it's a never-ending-buffet for Tudor buffs.

Dress at the Court of Henry VIII - What color shoes did Catherine Parr like to wear the most? How did clothes communicate royal status and political leanings, for both Henry and his wives? How did Henry's children, courtiers, and servants dress on different occasions? This book is the one-stop shop for Henrician fashion. My only complaint is that its illustrations are B&W, but if you combine this with the drawings of gowns in Herbert Norris' Tudor Costume and Fashion, you're pretty much set.

Elizabeth I - The later Tudors aren't really my wheelhouse, but I had to include this amazing biography of Elizabeth I. Forget Weir or Plowden, this is the best biography of Elizabeth out there, and it's a masterpiece of historical biography, period. This book manages to grapple with everything that happened in Elizabeth's nearly 70-year life without getting bogged down in details and preserving a sympathetic, nuanced picture of the woman behind the queenly mask. 10/10, highly recommend!!

#tudorweek2023 #dailytudors #tudor era #this is a long post #many books #short reviews for each #but I hope you enjoy!! #for legal purposes what i'm about to say is not me endorsing this #but nearly all of these books are available on *certain e-book* websites #if you're not feeling adventurous #many are available on Internet Archive as well

maybe gender is real 🤔 i was talking to my boss about pockets today and he apparently had a friend who works in the fashion industry (like, making and selling actual clothes, not like. gucci or something) who says that women always say they *want* pockets but then they never buy pants with pockets. theyll buy dresses and skirts that have pockets because they get hidden by the fabric, but with pants they show too much so women dont want to wear them.

and then barbie, right? every time i see the stupid "you can be anything!" slogan its like. right, except ugly, or masculine, or unfashionable. but like. of course! i know lots of little girls and they all want to play with pretty dolls that have pretty frilly princess dresses! ive met like. four young girls in my multiple years working with kids who *didnt* identify with extreme femininity.

maybe pop feminism is right and there is some quintessential way that women *are* that is different from the way men are and the rest of us are aberrations. maybe i, singular, am an aberration.

#not actually endorsed #i think this is probably a side effect of not having any lesbian friends irl #and all of the nonbinary people i know are either ultra femme or that like. weird gen z e-girl femme

tips for finding abandoned places.

- google maps is your best friend for this.

- look for railroad tracks, and look along them for any splits that end suddenly.

- on google maps, change to satellite view and zoom in alongside country roads until you find something that looks like it has holes in the roof. you’ll know it when you see it

- zoom in on a small town and then check the outskirts. no matter how old it is there will always be some evidence of a road or trail to it.

- when on google maps looking for homesteads go for discolored spots, faint driveways, and gardens full of weeds. BE SURE that there are no active farms nearby that could own the property. a lot of these homesteads will be closer to the center of a field instead of the road.

- mines are almost always in mountains. follow the main mountain road and find weathered roads or trails that branch off from it. follow that and you’ll probably find a mine eventually. they’re easy to spot due to the clearings that surround them. most of these can be applied in person as well

- relating to mines, if you see a bunch of trails intersecting that’s often a mining camp. there will always be something there, from my experiences.

- if looking for homesteads, look for a rural area that still has evidence of people around. the more remote the area is, the less likely it’s private property

- farming areas are nice for searching, so look for places near them that are overgrown or areas with trees placed to block off sight from the road (you know, like sometimes you see trees just around this one big house).

that’s the google maps stuff done

- talking with other explorers is nice, though people tend to be a bit cagey with their locations and for good reason, as people tend to graffiti in abandoned places. DO NOT do so, and if someone seems like they might, don’t tell them about the place. be careful. additionally, don’t break anything and practice leaving no trace, and you can build up a bit of a rep for being at least respectful.

- if you get permission, then it’s legal and not trespassing

- quite literally just driving around rural areas is an excellent way to find them

- if you don’t want to get arrested, go remote. the more so the better.

one final bit of advice when looking for ghost towns. when looking for ghost towns, again search on google maps for small towns in the middle of nowhere. towns like these are often the reason why ghost towns exist. sometimes a marker will come up on maps. at least check these out as you know there’s something there

thanks for reading! i wrote all this out for my friend @thatpocketninja and thought i’d share it to the world. feel free to add on with your advice, and PLEASE remember to practice leave no trace. see ya!

Trying to set up a filterable RSS-to-Tumblr AO3 feed is hellish 🥲 I want to automate tagging for Archive warnings… I’ve seen a couple blogs around who have done it sooo maybe I’ll DM them idk? I think it involves Javascript (scary). Also apparently IFTTT doesn’t allow direct links anymore, so I was trying Make.com, but there’s no templates and I can’t test it bc it runs on a timer 😭

DnDads is such a small fandom so idk if anyone would even care about an ao3feed blog for it, but I can set up a quick one rn if anyone is interested :3 !!!! I was mostly just looking into it for myself, though… thought it would be nice to have automated (and just kinda fun to mess around with lol)

#chalcy stuff #I don’t want people to get mad at me bc it can’t be filtered 😭😭 #which is fair if you don’t want E-rated or Archive warning’d stuff on your Tumblr dash #but ig I could just be like #‘hey this blog automatically posts everything in the tag. don’t like don’t follow’ #it’s not like I’d be endorsing everything or whatever #IDK I just don’t want to ruffle any feathers by not having a tagging system #wait ​probably 90% of y’all don’t know what I’m talking about. brb will rb with an explanation

There is something in my head that hates me.

I don't know who put it there. I don't know why they put it there. I think it must have been a long time ago.

I've tried to remove it.

I tried to give it what it seemed to want, beating myself into shape as best I could, making something more useful, more desirable, more tolerable. I tried also to talk it down, to show it the people who love me and why they love me and why I should love me too. I tried to starve it too, to simply refuse to feed it, to let it wither and die.

There is something in my head that hates me.

It's rarely violent about it, at least not anymore. Not as loud. But it's no less ferocious now -- just slower, calmer. Not like it is weaker, I think. More like it knows I'll never quite be rid of it, and it has all the time in the world to make me suffer.

I outrun it by action, pouring myself into work or play. I ward it off with altered states and distractions, whatever I can do to keep it from a chance to think. But there is an end to every day, and as I wind down it wraps around me like a weight. As I lie down it lays beside me like it owns these vulnerable hours. And it speaks softly, calmly in my head.

It mocks me for my misery, for my fears, for my loneliness. It almost sounds amused at how worthless my attempts have been, at how distant I feel even when I have all that I do -- more than I've ever deserved. It thinks it laughable that I still cling to hope when its so hard for me to succeed and so easy for the sword to fall. It ridicules me for my reliance on drugs, it belittles me for being so scared to speak, it reminds me of how much effort I've put in and still it is there and still I'm scared and still I can feel so alone so unwanted so pointless. Even after all my progress.

There is something in my head that hates me.

I try to push it away with certainty that I've been working to build under myself, a foundation of value and deserving. I am loved and I am wanted. But it's got more voices than just mine. It uses the voices and guise of those same loves to push right back. I'm selfish, I'm not around enough, I'm not worth enough, I'm too much effort, I'm never what I need to be...

It's too much, remembering all the bad I've done, all the ways I've failed people, all the ways I come up short. There's nothing to do for it but sleep, and hope tomorrow will be brighter, kinder. But I'm not sure I can shake that awareness now, not for very long.

There is something in my head that hates me.

#sorry but I guess sometimes you have to be a moody melodramatic bitch #especially when tired coming down and facing an early morning #don't trust life thoughts after 1am or w/e #also for the record even though this is an expression of a little bit of a bleak mood I still fully endorse hope #even if I never get rid of this part of me I still know I'll get better and better at living alongside it etc #anyway goodnight 💗

I know it's a stereotype that women are super into astrology and all that and it's more or less exclusive to them and men don't get into it. But in my experience that's not true. In fact I've met way more men who are into astrology than women. I don't know if statistically that bears out but I think this is one of those stereotypes that is not rooted in reality.

#i think people just get more angry when women do it because they admit out loud that it influenced their baby name choice or w/e #which is obviously bad and i dont endorse that

Where is my Drow barbie & my plans for the future:

I’m still alive! I’ve decided to go on a slight hiatus to develop some things behind the scenes. I’m coming into contact with a lot of conflicting ideas between like D&D canon & what i’m trying to build for A’byssel & its making my brain frown when I try to write. Originally, in his first iteration he was a bhaalspawn from the generation born before the time of troubles & after major retcons occurred, I never really sat down & actually patched the holes in the character I made. So hes more like a collage of everything which - I don’t hate it but Its a bit inconsistent & that drives me bananas. So I’m working on that.

To assist I’m also taking notes and building a server that doubles as my personal reference guide that has links to 1-5 E sources & guides that are cited in the channels where I break down certain aspects (like the houses, tenants, rituals, etc. pasting excerpts from the different editions to refer to.) It’s already helping me shape some things by giving me references, I do also want to include book excerpts but I have to tackle things one at a time.

That being said, when I feel ready to move forward its probably going to be another remake. This is partially because I love fresh starts, but that doesn’t mean I’ll discontinue threads. They’ll just be moving over to the shiny new account dw about that bit.

And regarding that shiny new account: Plotting is taking priority. I like to plot & have dynamics built out to better enrich writing & interactions. I hope to have more to offer when I smooth out abby’s wrinkles!

#ˊ 🕸️ ﹙ 𝘰𝘰𝘤. ﹚ ﹐ #*that’s where i’m at rn #* mostly filling out my lil ref guide so i can wrap my brain around menzo & its 5 million layers of complexity #* I laughed when i read a 3.5 E source that talked about ‘ Drow marriages ‘ and how kids born out of wedlock arent shunned #* but u have a greater claim to the line of succession if youre from the married pair? like girl whut? #* Oh yes spider mum 100% wants her prized priestesses to be legally tied to the men #* the men that are regarded as walking meat yes lloth would totally endorse her priestesses ‘ punching down ‘
