| Summary | "Body, Parentage and Character in History: Notes on the Tudor Period" by Furneaux Jordan is a historical analysis written in the late 19th century. The book examines the relationship between physical characteristics, parentage, and individual character during the Tudor period, focusing prominently on notable figures like Henry VIII. Through the exploration of these themes, the author aims to provide insights into how these attributes influenced historical narratives and events. At the start of the book, the author introduces his premise that character can be related to bodily configurations and inheritance, establishing a foundation for the exploration of Tudor personalities. The opening also posits an interesting examination of Henry VIII’s character, contrasting views from his contemporaries and modern perspectives. The text suggests that rather than simply being defined by his infamous marriages, Henry's character and actions were a product of both his lineage and the complex social circumstances of his time. The narrative sets the stage for a detailed investigation into how such traits manifested during significant historical upheavals, particularly regarding the Reformation in England.
