Her ne kadar roman ve film kendine özgü özellikler ve farklı değerlendirme ölçütlerine sahip olsalar da ilk kaynağa olan benzerlik derecesi her zaman ilk tartışılan konulardan birisi olmuştur. Son dönemde edebiyat ve sinema dünyasında yankı uyandıran eserlerden birisi de Justin Chadwick’in Philippa Gregory’nin 2002 de yazdığı The Other Boleyn Girl isimli kitabından aynı adla sinemaya uyarladığı 2008 yapımı filmidir. Gerek Philippa Gregory’nin romanı gerekse Justin Chadwick’in filmi 16. yüzyıl İngiltere’sinde, Kral VIII. Henry’nin sarayında kralın gözdesi olmak için amansız mücadele veren iki kız kardeşin, Anne ve Mary Boleyn’in, trajik hikâyesini anlatırken özellikle roman okuyucuları için dönemin sosyal, ekonomik, dini, toplumsal, siyasal olaylarına ışık tutması bakımından oldukça ilgi çekicidir. Kardeşler arasındaki rekabet ise romanın ve filmin genel konusu olarak karşımıza çıkar, ancak romandaki bahsedilen diğer farklı bakış açılarının ve temaların çoğu zaman filmde bulunmadığı bir gerçektir. Tarihsel olarak Anne Boleyn ve Kral VIII. Henry arasındaki evlilik İngiltere’nin Roma Katolik Kilisesinden ayrılıp, İngiltere’de İngiliz Anglikan Kilisesinin kurulmasına yol açması gerçeği romanda açıkça işlenirken filmde bu konuya da hak ettiği ölçüde değinilmediği görülmektedir. Bu tez çalışması Boleyn Kızı filminin, filmin uyarlandığı kitabı daha önce hiç okumamış veya ilgili döneme ait bilgisi olmayan öğrenciler için tarihsel bilgi açısından yeterliliğini araştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Film incelendiğinde ‘kardeş rekabeti’, ‘kadının ezilmesi’ ve ‘saray aşkı’ gibi temaların kitapla aynı önemle ve yoğunlukla işlenmediği görülmüştür. Bu sav filmden sahnelerle ve kitaptan alıntılarla desteklenmiştir. Bu sebepten dolayı da romanı okumak yerine salt filmi izlemekle 16. yüzyıl İngiltere’sini anlamanın mümkün olamadığı sonucuna varılmıştır. v ABSTRACT The adaptation of written works, particularly the novels, to screen is a method which has been used since the emergence of the cinema. Although novel and film have distinctive features and different evaluation criteria peculiar to each media, the issue of fidelity to the original source has been one of the first discussed topics in evaluation of adapted works. One of the latest striking works in literature and cinema world is Justin Chadwick’s film, The Other Boleyn Girl, which is adapted from a novel written by Philippa Gregory in 2002 with the same name. Both the novel and the film are about a tragic story which is the stern struggle of two sisters, Anne and Mary Boleyn’s, in order to gain favour in the court of Henry VIII in 16th century England. The novel especially catches attention as it is rich enough about the social, economical, religious, and political incidents of the period. The overall plot of both media is the siblings’ rivalry; however, it does not change the reality that the film version lacks in some other additional approaches and themes in the novel. It is clearly observed that the film does not pay enough attention to the historical reality in the book that the marriage between Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn led England to break with Roman Catholic Church and establish the Anglican Church of England This thesis study is conducted in order to discuss the informative sufficiency of the film for the students of literature who have not read the book or have had no previous knowledge related to the period. Informative inadequacy, on ‘sisterly rivalry’, ‘oppression of power’ and ‘courtly love’, in the film is supported with the quotations from the book and scenes from the film. Therefore, it is concluded that watching only the filmic version of this novel is not likely to be enough to appreciate the 16th century England truly instead of reading the book. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS BİLİMSEL ETİK SAYFASI..……………………………………………………...i TEZ KABUL FORMU……………………………………………………………..ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS...……………………………………………………..iii ÖZET..........................................................................................................................iv ABSTRACT................................................................................................................v TABLE OF CONTENTS..........................................................................................vi LIST OF FIGURES.................................................................................................viii I.

Source: Montacute1 Portrait on the right described by Philip Mould as Portrait of an unknown french noblewoman: www.historicalportraits.com: Image Library _____________________________________________________________________ The french influence noted by the firm of Philip Mould regarding the latter portrait may be a consequence of the fact that Elizabeth’s husband, Sir Thomas Leighton, served as Governor of Jersey (1570- 1 As an interesting aside, Elizabeth Knolly’s black hat was displayed at the National Maritime Museum in 2003 in an exhibition curated by David Starkey. Elizabeth also presented Elizabeth I with a ‘fayre cap of black vellat’ in 1578/9 1 1609): ‘governor of the ifles of Guernfey and Jcrfey, and con-ftable of the tower of London’. In terms of the wearing of mourning attire, Elizabeth’s brother Edward and her brother-in-law, Gerald Fitzgerald, Baron Offaley, both died in 1580. In 1582/3 her eldest brother, Sir Henry Knollys, and her great-uncle of the same name also died.2 In 1583 her nephew Robert Dudley died. Her mother-in-law, Joyce Leighton nee Sutton, died in 1586. In the context of a large extended Elizabethan family, deaths continued to occur on a frequent basis. These two portraits are quite interesting in juxtaposition.

  • 3.1 the Other Boleyn Girl
    University of Iceland School of Humanities Department of English Iconic 16th Century Queens Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots as Portrayed in Contemporary Historical Fiction by Women M.A. Essay Anna Dögg Gylfadóttir Kt.: 070690-2339 Supervisor: Ingibjörg Ágústsdóttir May 2019 Abstract Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots can be considered as the proto-feminist figures of the Tudor era. They affected politics and religion and made a permanent mark on history. Elizabeth was a successful sovereign and overcame considerable obstacles due to the fact that she was a female monarch, while Anne Boleyn, her mother, and Mary, her cousin, were less successful. Because they defied the norm, Anne and Mary paid the ultimate price; ending their lives on the block. Historians have not always treated these women fairly and they do not agree as to the extent of these women’s guilt in plots and murders that took place in their lives. Anne and Mary’s history has never been told from their point of view. The historical novel becomes a powerful tool where these women are given a voice and their history is presented from different viewpoints. Writers of the women’s historical novel can write about the lives of women and offer explanations for events that have not been fully explained by the historical record. This essay begins by discussing the historical novel and demonstrating how the historical novel is a combination of fact and fiction and how it can become a medium that tells a story about people and events, as well as explaining how the women’s historical novel gives the women of history a voice they have never had.

Substantial archival sources are analysed to evaluate the concepts of female political agency discussed in scholarly literature, including women’s roles in politics, within families, in networks and as part of the court patronage system. A case study methodology is used to examine the lives and careers of specific aristocratic women in three spheres of court politics – the politics of female agency, the politics of family and faction, and the politics of favour. The first case study looks at Elizabeth’s long-serving lady-in-waiting, Anne Dudley, Countess of Warwick, and demonstrates that female political agents harnessed multiple sources of agency to exercise power at court on behalf of dense patronage networks.

  • The Other Boleyn Girl – Fiction Versus Fact Many People Become Interested in the Boleyns and Henry VIII After Reading the Other Boleyn Girl Or Watching the Movie
    The Other Boleyn Girl – Fiction versus Fact Many people become interested in the Boleyns and Henry VIII after reading The Other Boleyn Girl or watching the movie. It is an entertaining story and leaves readers/viewers wanting to know more, but although it is inspired by history it is not a factual retelling of what happened. Fiction Fact Mary Boleyn the innocent – In the novel, Mary Most historians believe that Mary Boleyn slept is worried about sleeping with the King because with King Francis I of France while she was of her sexual inexperience. Her sister Anne serving Mary Tudor, Queen of France, and promises her father and uncle that she will before her wedding to William Carey in 1520. "coach her well enough to get her into his bed". Rodolfo Pio, Bishop of Faenza, wrote of Mary In the movie, she is also depicted as a virgin saying, “the French king knew [her] here in worrying about her wedding night with William France 'per una grandissima ribalda et infame Carey. sopre tutte' [a great prostitute and infamous above all].” See http://www.theanneboleynfiles.com/mary- boleyn-was-she-really-the-mistress-of-francis-i/ for my thoughts on this. There is no evidence that Anne had any sexual experience before she began co-habiting with Henry VIII in 1532, so she would not have been an ideal coach for Mary in the early 1520s. Anne Boleyn Entraps Henry Percy – she plots There is no evidence that Anne set out to trap to attract Henry Percy so that she can be Percy and it is likely to have been a love match - Duchess of Northumberland and be wealthy.
