Contemporary Girlhood and Anne Boleyn in Young Adult Fiction
Anne Boleyn has been narrativized in Young Adult (YA) historical fiction since the nineteenth century. Since the popular Showtime series The Tudors (2007–2010) aired, teenage girls have shown increased interest in the story of Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII’s second and most infamous queen. This construction of Boleyn suggests that she was both celebrated and punished for her proto-feminist agency and forthright sexuality. A new subgenre of Boleyn historical fiction has also recently emerged—YA novels in which her story is rewritten as a contemporary high school drama. In this article, I consider several YA novels about Anne Boleyn in order to explore the relevance to contemporary teenage girls of a woman who lived and died 500 years ago.

Calkins Creek. 5-9 yrs After finishing work in 1920s Harlem, photographer Roy DeCarava would walk the streets with his camera, capturing the beauty he saw; the brief text in this joyful, exuberant picture book biography trusts Lewis’ exceptional watercolor art to do the same, with spreads evoking both permanence and intangibility, much like a photograph, as they interpret DeCarava’s art.
