Anne Boleyn V1: A Chapter Of English History, 1527-1536 is a historical non-fiction book written by Paul Friedmann and published in 1884. The book is the first volume of a two-part series that focuses on the life and times of Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII of England. The book covers the period between 1527 and 1536, which was a crucial time in English history. During this time, Henry VIII was seeking to annul his marriage to his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, and marry Anne Boleyn. The book provides a detailed account of the political and religious events that led to this momentous decision, including the rise of the Protestant Reformation and the influence of Anne's family on the English court.

The author provides a nuanced and complex portrait of Anne Boleyn, challenging the traditional view of her as a scheming and manipulative woman who sought to use her beauty and wit to gain power. Instead, Friedmann presents Anne as a deeply intelligent and ambitious woman who was caught up in the tumultuous politics of her time. Overall, Anne Boleyn V1: A Chapter Of English History, 1527-1536 is a fascinating and well-written account of one of the most intriguing figures in English history.
