Marjorie Bowen’s New Historical Trilogy
Prince and Heretic
This fascinating story begins with William the Silent’s marriage to Anne of Saxony and ends with his riding into exile after his first armed clash with Philip of Spain. The author develops her novel with an art that is a potent blend of the historian’s careful attention to detail and the novelist’s skill in vivid character delineation.
This book is doubly interesting at this time in that it brings home to the reader the fact that Belgium has been the battle ground of Europe on more than one occasion.
William, by the Grace of God
The William of this stirring historical romance is William, Prince of Orange, better known to history as “William the Silent,” who led the successful revolt of the Netherlands against the bloody tyranny of Alva and Philip of Spain. Miss Bowen, who has no living equal in the art of creating historical atmosphere, has drawn her hero with dignity and charm and made live again the heroes and statesmen who created, after years of suffering and struggle, the Dutch Republic.
