THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL (2008)

dir. justin chadwick

[period-dramallama]

Judging by the afterword of Boleyn Traitor, Philippa has changed her mind on Jane Rochford.

But like, I get the sense from the afterword that she paints the villification of Jane as something OTHER PEOPLE did.

"Jane got the blame" YOU WERE PART OF THAT PHILIPPA. OWN IT. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

She mentions the other boleyn girl and is like "well that's Mary Boleyn's POV and she's worried that what's said about her sister is true" but I don't see any acknowledgement of The Boleyn Inheritance.

"Jane is portrayed as a voyeur" BY YOU. IN THE BOLEYN INHERITANCE.

"The common sense view" girl literally in the afterword of the Boleyn Inheritance you said you didn't Jane "was ever entirely sane".

I'm just.... i'm a little bit disgusted, honestly.

Is it really so hard to just swallow your pride and say: "i am fallible, I didn't sufficiently question the narrative at the time, i regurgitated misogynistic myths, I take responsibility for that, but times change and so I change with the times".

Is that too much to ask????

philippa gregory could have done the funniest thing ever by making her latest book a cromwell x jane fanfiction now that mantel can't sue her ass but no, it's just yet another take on the same story AND with a main character she'd already used

Historical Inaccuracies in The White Princess

I detest this series, but I hate-watched every episode and nitpicked it to death, as I pointed out all the ways Philippa Gregory and Emma Frost misrepresent, skew, vilify, and outright slander these historical figures. Go forth and revel in the rage... err, historical accuracy checks.

Have you read all the episodic breakdowns for The White Princess?

Episode 1: In Bed With the Enemy

Episode 2: Hearts & Minds

Episode 3: Burgundy

Episode 4: The Pretender

Episode 5: Traitors

Episode 6: English Blood on English Soil

Episode 7: Two Kings

Episode 8: Old Curses

[redrosecut]

We have all run our mouths over the Philippa Gregory series adaptations but honestly at this point I'm ready for another one. Give me more girlbossificated English royals with all the gossip about them played as serious facts.
