Judging by the afterword of Boleyn Traitor, Philippa has changed her mind on Jane Rochford.
But like, I get the sense from the afterword that she paints the villification of Jane as something OTHER PEOPLE did.
"Jane got the blame" YOU WERE PART OF THAT PHILIPPA. OWN IT. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
She mentions the other boleyn girl and is like "well that's Mary Boleyn's POV and she's worried that what's said about her sister is true" but I don't see any acknowledgement of The Boleyn Inheritance.
"Jane is portrayed as a voyeur" BY YOU. IN THE BOLEYN INHERITANCE.
"The common sense view" girl literally in the afterword of the Boleyn Inheritance you said you didn't Jane "was ever entirely sane".
I'm just.... i'm a little bit disgusted, honestly.
Is it really so hard to just swallow your pride and say: "i am fallible, I didn't sufficiently question the narrative at the time, i regurgitated misogynistic myths, I take responsibility for that, but times change and so I change with the times".
Is that too much to ask????
philippa gregory could have done the funniest thing ever by making her latest book a cromwell x jane fanfiction now that mantel can't sue her ass but no, it's just yet another take on the same story AND with a main character she'd already used
Historical Inaccuracies in The White Princess
I detest this series, but I hate-watched every episode and nitpicked it to death, as I pointed out all the ways Philippa Gregory and Emma Frost misrepresent, skew, vilify, and outright slander these historical figures. Go forth and revel in the rage... err, historical accuracy checks.

At least I did something today 🥀
I really wanted to like The Boleyn Traitor but the way the characters (specifically the women) were written was a huge turn off for me. I will admit, some of my issues with characterization may be a fault of my interpretation, but I feel like the patterns are too consistent to ignore.
It's hard to tell how much of the way Anne and Jane Seymour were written was just Jane Boleyn's perspective and how much of it was Gregory refusing to engage with these women as anything other than one-dimensional. One was a harpy and one was a bit dull, and that's all there was so say apparently. It felt cruel in a way that felt more like a revelation about the novel's author than its main character.
Is Gregory just not interested in portraying them as human beings? I don't understand the point of writing so much about these figures (over and over again) if you don't have anything to do with them but make them into cardboard cutouts.
