Reviews
"Arthur Schwarz and his coauthors have elected ... to channel Henry in his many shapes and sizes at one and the same time, his kingly strengths and Persian flaws, concomitantly exposing the good, the bad, and the indifferent with equal measure .... This is most definitely a book about books-as-objects and artifacts, giving rise to a broad historical eclecticism that is as entertaining to the lay reader in its sheer diversity as it is informative, thanks largely to Schwarz's succinct narrative and well-illustrated, sectional essays and catalogue entries."--Earle Havens, The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America

Synopsis
This catalogue to the Grolier Club exhibition Vivat Rex! brings the real Henry VIII, his life, reign, and time, to life through books, manuscripts, handwritten letters, and prints, The complicated personality and dramatic reign of England's King Henry VIII-- visionary, tyrant, monarch, bully, defender of the faith, destroyer of monasteries, lover and libertine--have been immortalized (and fictionalized) in literature, on stage, and in film by leading writers of their generations. Vivat Rex! brings the real Henry and the machinations of his court and times to life through books, manuscripts, handwritten letters, and prints. Among them are works that are unique or belonged to Henry himself, to his family, or to members of his court, including the monarch's schoolboy copy of Cicero, which he emphatically inscribed "Thys Boke Is Myne Prynce Henry." The themes that run throughout are power, marriage, and religion. With essays by John Guy, Dale Hoak, and Susan Wabuda, this catalogue accompanied 2009 exhibitions at the Grolier Club and Folger Shakespeare Library.
