Elizabeth I: Virgin Queen?
Philippa Jones, author of The Other Tudors, challenges the many myths and truths surrounding Elizabeth's life and reveals the passionate woman behind the powerful and fearless 'Virgin Queen.'
Other Tudors: Henry VIII's Mistresses & Bastards
Forget everything you thought you knew about Henry the Eighth. While Henry VIII has frequently been portrayed as a womanizer, author Philippa Jones reveals a new side to his character. Although he was never faithful, Jones sees him as a serial monogamist: he spent his life in search of a perfect woman, a search that continued even as he lay dying. This book brings together for the first time the 'other women' of King Henry VIII.

The Other Tudors
This book brings together for the first time the 'other women' of King Henry VIII, and takes us deep into the web of secrets and deception at the Tudor Court.
Elizabeth
The author of The Other Tudors delves into the Virgin Queen myth, Elizabeth’s secret “love life,” and the children she may have had as a result. “Virgin Queen” is the name for which the powerful and fearless daughter of Henry the Eighth and Anne Boleyn is best remembered, and may explain why Elizabeth was the last of the Tudor monarchs. But how appropriate is that reputation? Were Elizabeth’s suitors and favorites really just innocent intrigues? Or were they much more than that? Was Elizabeth really a woman driven by her passions, who had affairs with several men, including Thomas Seymour, while he was still the husband of her guardian Catherine Parr, and Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester—a man adjudged to have been the great love of her life? Are the rumors of Elizabeth’s illegitimate children true? Was the “Virgin Queen” image a carefully thought out piece of Tudor propaganda? Historian Philippa Jones, author of the acclaimed The Other Tudors, challenges the many myths and truths surrounding Elizabeth’s life and reveals the passionate woman behind the scenes.
Elapsed
"Elapsed is an exhibition curated by George Harris that draws on specific artworks by Canadian artists from across the country: Adad Hannah, Philippa Jones, Marianne Nicolson, Jennifer Pighin and Ann Smith, and explores the bridging of past and future in their work. Using a range of media, and encompassing perspectives from different cultural backgrounds, Elapsed provides insight into the artists' respective practices. Further, we consider how the artist's works focus the attention of viewers on the preciousness of time, its unrelenting march and the extraordinary accomplishments of which we are capable."--
