A high-born, high-minded, and clever young lady was sacrificed on the pyre of ambition by her kin in this drama, which is depicted by primary sources, including Lady Jane's own letters. Published information on Lady Jane is sparse and conflicting. While some of those surrounding Lady Jane revealed themselves to be the very definition of treachery and betrayal, the youthful Lady Jane accepted her awful situation with astonishing courage. Her own performance is inspirational. As a result, readers and academics alike will have fresh questions after reading this thorough and precise analysis of Lady Jane Grey and her brief reign through primary and secondary sources.
James continues to receive critical acclaim for uncovering a rare and over looked letter from Lady Jane to Queen Mary that all other authors and historians have not discovered. A recent newspaper included this:
'Mr. Taylor unveils information not seen or shared since 1594 in this book. 7 years of hard work and research produced a fabulous rewards.'
“Taylor succeeds in furnishing insights into the remarkable mind of this young, 16th-century Protestant noblewoman” & “serious students of English history will relish the new material offered here”
Publishers Weekly, Jan 2005.
"Mr. Taylor’s hard work and diligent research has provided new information about Lady Jane Grey not seen in over 400 years. His literary contributions to historical research and studies is a valuable asset." Detroit Free Press. 2008.
