I asked the same thing about the Twilight series. My conclusion is that editors/publishers want to sell books and don't much care what's in them.

I feel a certain wry amusement that she's moved from writing historical non-fiction to historical romance. I somehow doubt the audience she gained decades ago with her non-fiction is going to follow her into the romance genre. I know her publisher is trying to slot this in as historical fiction, but that's not what the book design says.

Beats me.
 
It's also not her first novel - she has apparently written both a novel and a non fiction book about Eleanor of Aquitaine.  I find that bizarre.

http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/ae/book-reviews/alison-weirs-a-dangerous-inheritance-a-not-so-wonderful-fictional-history-662591/

It reminds me of a certain Lord Byron scholar who went on to write a Byron novel in which - ta-da - Byron became a vampire. To be honest, the idea was rather clever, but the writing...? Not so clever. Also, I waded through a perfectly awful novel about Longfellow's translation of Dante, written by another Lit expert. The writing was laughable; on one page, he described something, then felt it necessary to describe it two pages later. My attention span may be deteriorating, but not to that degree!

Some people consider Kendall "too colourful," but it must be remembered his original background was in Literature, and quite unlike the two aforementioned profs, his writing was good, strong prose. History need not induce sleep to be valid.

I am reading Kendall for the first time, and am really enjoying him. His style seems halfway between an historical biography and a literary biography. But less literary than, say, Irving Stone whom I also like and no one seems to remember.

Byron becoming a vampire at some point seems almost inevitable.

Ah, The Agony and the Ecstasy! Except that it tread too lightly on the gay angle, I enjoyed it enormously (though even at age 15 I thought the "romance" didn't quite ring true...).

I picked up the "Byron scholar" bit from the dust jacket. And it was considerably better than The Dante Club (NOT to be confused with The Club Dumas by Arturo Perez-Reverte, one of my faves).

Alison Weir has written an historical romance -- "A novel of TUDOR RIVALS and the SECRET OF THE TOWER".

In case someone is interested, a review is here:

http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/ae/book-reviews/alison-weirs-a-dangerous-inheritance-a-not-so-wonderful-fictional-history-662591/

Robert Aikman wrote a very spooky vampire story in which the character (unnamed, as I recall) reminded me of Byron. And the time he and the Shelleys et al. spent at Lake Como inspired Frankenstein, The Vampyr, and more recently, a host of films, in one of which Hugh Grant was miscast as Byron.

Hi, Judy 

I am re-reading Kendall, having read it the first time several decades ago. It's my go to book on Richard and, together with Tey, is really responsible for me being a Ricardian.



His writing style is not light, but it is readable. Someone (Marianne or Marie?) had written a while ago that one should be sure to read Kendall's footnotes, and I would say, judging from the passage I cited and then Kendall's comments in his footnote, that that is for sure  because it seems that his footnote indicates that the likely truth is about 180 degrees out from what he writes in the body of the text. That, I would say, is a bit extreme. I'll go back and take another look at it and confirm if that impression is correct.



But  regardless, I still love the book! It appears that he gives enough background info along with the text that you can read and enjoy the book and then read the footnotes and make up your mind what the truth is. Besides, you gotta love an author who was cremated and whose ashes were sprinkled on the field at Bosworth! Now that is dedication!

It reminds me of a certain Lord Byron scholar who went on to write a Byron novel in which - ta-da - Byron became a vampire. To be honest, the idea was rather clever, but the writing...? Not so clever. Also, I waded through a perfectly awful novel about Longfellow's translation of Dante, written by another Lit expert. The writing was laughable; on one page, he described something, then felt it necessary to describe it two pages later. My attention span may be deteriorating, but not to that degree!

Some people consider Kendall "too colourful," but it must be remembered his original background was in Literature, and quite unlike the two aforementioned profs, his writing was good, strong prose. History need not induce sleep to be valid.

Beats me.

It's also not her first novel - she has apparently written both a novel and a non fiction book about Eleanor of Aquitaine. I find that bizarre.

Alison Weir has written an historical romance -- "A novel of TUDOR RIVALS and the SECRET OF THE TOWER".

Carol responds:

Funny how the only films about Shelley feature this particular period, which was by no means a drug-and-sex orgy mixed with story telling (though two novels did come out of it, Mary Shelley's "Frankenstien" and Polidori's "Vampyre." Shelley's free love philosophy is almost as misunderstood as Richard's political philosophy. He probably never slept with Mary Shelley's stepsister, Claire Clairmont, and Byron (who did father her child) had long since rejected her.

Anyway, "Gothic" and "Haunted Summer" (the only two films I've seen about the group) are about as close to the truth about Shelley, Byron, Mary, Claire, and Polidori as Alison Weir is to the truth about Richard. At least we have letters for all these people and diaries for some of them; too bad we have so few documents for Richard.

According to wikipedia Weir's next project is a biography of Elizabeth of York. I guess she'll drag up that marriage rubbish again. It is strange that Weir is editing a series of English Queens and I think the first two were about Anne Neville and Elizabeth Woodville where Richard came of badly, though not written by AW.

I read one of her books (Lancaster & York) a long long time ago, and it sits
in my shelf as an object lesson. I haven't read any of her fiction, but
friends of mind who have say it's reasonably good. Better than her non- at
any rate.

Richard didn't so much 'come off badly', in Hicks' Anne Nevill book, but
some of his statements were a bit puzzling and rather silly (the child
molester bit, for a start). I'm not sure whether there were editorial
instructions to 'sex it up' but if so, it was misguided and Hicks should
have known better than to comply. I'd be interested in finding out just how
much editorial input there was.

Hi, Paul -

That thought had occurred to me. I am sure that Mr. Kendall's wishes were to
have his ashes sprinkled on the battlefield site itself, perhaps even at the
spot where King Richard perished. Now, I believe the site of the battle is
thought to have been a couple of kilometers (or is it miles?) from the
actual site of the battle.



OK, when my ashes are scattered, I just hope it will be on the correct site!
In the meantime, perhaps some of Mr. Kendall's ashes drifted over to the
correct spot. <smile>

Anyone trying to scatter ashes in the area could be proseuted. The Battlefield centre has refused any requests to scatter ashes, apparently hundreds have asked, and the farmers on whose land the correct site now is, are very active in keeping people away.

Hi, Paul -

Geez, legal difficulties abound!



Perhaps the law is different in England than it is in Canada. My
understanding of the law here is that basically one's ashes can be scattered
anywhere, because they are considered to be environmentally friendly, I
guess. That would be subject to the proviso that one would still be subject
to the laws of trespass, if the property is private.



One could always get one's confederates to set up a system like the men used
in the movie *The Great Escape* - remember? The prisoners filled sacks
inside their pant legs with dirt from the tunnels they were digging, then
when they went outside, they surreptitiously opened the sacks using strings
which were led up to their waists and released the dirt onto whatever spot
they wanted. I wouldn't mind having that done with my ashes, long as it was
deposited in more or less the correct location. Perhaps the problem right
now is that the actual battlefield is private land and the farmer is
probably not too happy about having hordes of tourists interfering with his
cultivation of the acreage. I would hope that there are some plans underway
to acquire that land - if they do know for sure that that is where the
battle took place.

Hello again Johanne
I may be misunderstanding the centre's reaction, perhaps people wanting ashes scattered also want a memorial of some sort.
The farming land is very fertile so I doubt it will go up for sale anytime soon. What one of the excavation team told me was that he knows there have been a lot of artefacts found that the farmers are keeping quiet about, driving us wanting to know exactly what went on crazy!

That's actually seriously disturbing.  Not sure what the legalities would be with it being private land.  But is the implication that they're been treasure hunting since the site was identified?

Richard Liveth Yet!

Hi again, Paul!

Hah! Just the thought of . . . boars, coins, crosses, bits and pieces of
armor, weapons and ammunition . . .



It's enough to drive one round the bend, isn't it??!!



Maybe some thought could be given to trading the "old" site of the battle,
which I would presume wouldn't be too different as far as soil fertility. Or
would I be wrong?



I could imagine that another problem would be people taking clods of earth
or rocks off the site - you know, as souvenirs.



Loyaulte me lie,



Johanne

Except the farmer now knows the field has a value way beyond its agricultural worth.  No objection at all if he wants to keep it - it's his property - but I would wish something could be done to protect its integrity.  If you go around Towton with a metal detector, you get picked up by the police and there are prominent signs warning of exactly that.  Not sure what the status of the land ownership is there, though...

Hello again Johanne
I may be misunderstanding the centre's reaction, perhaps people wanting
ashes scattered also want a memorial of some sort.
The farming land is very fertile so I doubt it will go up for sale anytime
soon. What one of the excavation team told me was that he knows there have
been a lot of artefacts found that the farmers are keeping quiet about,
driving us wanting to know exactly what went on crazy!

No, I mean the farmers have simply kept any finds over the years to themselves, possibly to prevent hordes of treasure hunters - and Ricardians - tramping over their crops!
I mean if I found a silver boar in my garden I'd hang on to it! Woudn't you?
