About the book

The Lisle Letters presents correspondence connected with Arthur Plantagenet, Viscount Lisle, his wife Honor and their household during the reign of Henry VIII. The surviving letters provide an unusually detailed view of Tudor family life, politics and social relationships. Covering subjects ranging from court favour and household management to marriages, gifts, money and personal concerns, the correspondence brings the Tudor period vividly to life. Rather than concentrating solely on great political events, the letters reveal the practical details and personal relationships behind the public world of Henry VIII's England.
