]]> Sorry I missed the August round-up – things kind of got away from me after I realized the summer was 2/3rds over and I hadn’t done a lot of things I had on my to-do list (both at home and at work) before the new academic year started.

Books

Elizabeth Norton contributed Jane Seymour: Patronage, Material Culture and Image Crafting to the Routledge Lives of Royal Women series, and it was released back in July in both the UK and the US. Since this is “academically priced”, I’ve linked to the paperback version (which is still pretty pricey!).

Henry VIII’s Quest for an Heir: The King’s Great Matter by Helene Harrison was originally due out at the end of August in the UK but has been pushed back to the end of September. It’s due to be released at the end of October in the US.
