It's 'academically priced' so I would recommend trying to find it in a library. The editors are Tatiana C. String and Marcus Bull. Besides the papers in the book, there might be good references and a bibliography to lead you to more sources.<br /><br />There is also the "Tudors on Film and Television" book from last year. I haven't read it, but it might also be helpful. They have a website for it at http://www.tudorsonfilm.com/<br /><br />Good luck!Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630629272030282584noreply@blogger.com
