Rethinking Anne Boleyn with Martha Tatarnic | Episode 280


Listen Later

What do you really know about Anne Boleyn? Most of us remember her as Henry VIII's ill-fated second wife — and not much more. But according to Martha Tatarnic, Anglican priest and author of Anne Boleyn: Reputation, Revolution, Religion, and the Queen Who Changed History, we've been missing the bigger picture entirely.

Martha returns to the podcast to explore Anne Boleyn as a serious religious reformer whose influence on the English Reformation — and the Anglican Church — has been vastly underestimated. History painted her as a seductress rather than a scholar.  Victim-blaming narratives have shaped her legacy for centuries, and Martha shares what recovering her true story means for the church today.
