<DIV>Part biography, part cultural history, <I>The Creation of Anne Boleyn</I> is a reconstruction of Boleyn’s life and an illuminating look at her very active afterlife in the popular imagination. With <I>Bringing up the Bodies</I>, <I>The Other Boleyn Girl</I>, and Showtime’s <I>The</I> <I>Tudors,</I> Anne has been having a twenty-first-century moment, but Bordo shows how many generations of polemicists, biographers, novelists, and filmmakers have imagined and reimagined Anne: whore, martyr, cautionary tale, proto–“mean girl,” feminist icon, and everything in between. Drawing on scholarship and razor-sharp analysis, Bordo probes the complexities of one of history’s most fascinating women, teasing out what we actually know about Anne Boleyn and what we think we know about her.</DIV>
