|
|---|
| 35 | <P><FONT face=Arial>The <B>Tudor England</B> website is a labor of love which was
|
|---|
| 36 | established in the summer of 1997. Since then, thousands of visitors
|
|---|
| 37 | have used it for entertainment and research. And the site has grown and
|
|---|
| 38 | will undoubtedly keep growing until I develop Tudoritis. This condition
|
|---|
| 39 | occurs when one spends too much time reading about Henry VIII and too little
|
|---|
| 40 | time outside interacting with other human beings. The sufferer can be
|
|---|
| 41 | identified by pale, clammy skin, fingers stiffened from too much typing and
|
|---|
| 42 | eyes reddened from too much reading, squinting and peering at the computer
|
|---|
| 43 | screen. They are apt to eat mutton, drink ale and find portraits of
|
|---|
| 44 | Thomas Seymour the ultimate in sexiness. They mutter such phrases as
|
|---|
| 45 | "God's oath!" and begin every sentence with the word "thou".</FONT> <BR><FONT
|
|---|
| 46 | face=Arial>Avoid them at all costs. If contact cannot be avoided, hit
|
|---|
| 47 | them with a copy of John Guy's <I>Tudor England.</I></FONT> <BR><FONT
|
|---|
| 48 | face=Arial>There is no cure for Tudoritis but it can be controlled through a
|
|---|
| 49 | strict diet of just one Tudor-related book a week.</FONT></P>
|
|---|
| 50 | <p><FONT face=Arial><B>Everything at this site was written by me; </B>every
|
|---|
| 51 | fact was checked and double-checked.</FONT><BR><FONT face=Arial>In the course
|
|---|
| 52 | of my research, I have happily noted that this site is more accurate than
|
|---|
| 53 | many books published about Tudor England. In other words, despite
|
|---|
| 54 | the many warnings about internet inaccuracies, the printed page does not
|
|---|
| 55 | guarantee either truth or objectivity.</FONT><BR><FONT face=Arial>Respect for the work involved in
|
|---|
