12. How does the author’s sense of shifting power shape Jane’s world, and what parallels do you see today?

This is the rise of the Tudors. Make sure you rise with them. In the dazzling, dangerous world of the Tudor Court, nothing is more powerful than a secret - or more deadly.

Philippa Gregory has reflected, ‘I live in a world which feels more extreme and more dangerous than that of my childhood. I am aware of how easily power can shift.ʼ

How do you think this thinking informs her historianʼs vision of Janeʼs world? Are there parallels between the instability and dangers of Janeʼs era and our own?
