In this evocative biography, Theresa Earenfight presents an intimate and engaging portrait of Catherine told through the objects that she left behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pair of shoes, a painting, a rosary, a fur-trimmed baby blanket--each of these things took meaning from the ways Catherine experienced and perceived them. Through an examination of the inventories listing the few possessions Catherine owned at her death, Earenfight follows the arc of Catherine's life: first as a coddled child in Castile, then as a young adult alone in England after the death of her first husband, a devoted wife and doting mother, a patron of the arts and of universities, and, finally, a dear friend to the women and men who stood by her after Henry VIII set her aside in favor of another woman. Based on traces and fragments, these portraits of Catherine are interpretations of a life lived five centuries ago. Earenfight creates a compelling picture of a multifaceted, intelligent woman and a queen of England.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEngagingly written, this cultural and emotional biography of Catherine brings us closer to understanding her life from her own perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Theresa Earenfight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0271091649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780271091648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penn State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/14\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.23w x 0.83d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2022","brand":"Theresa Earenfight","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44052056867071,"sku":"9780271091648","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8bb44cd2-9fef-4658-8b8e-4cf85c126814.jpg?v=1685016713","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/catherine-of-aragon-theresa-earenfight-9780271091648","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
