![]() ![]() That’s what this novel focuses on, so Seton had to do a lot of imagining. Nevertheless, very little is known about Katherine, and nothing has come down to us about her emotional life. Katherine was, like many of Anya Seton’s novels, a bestseller when it was first published, and is still a well-known historical novel.Īnya Seton begins her “Author’s Note” by noting that “it has throughout been my anxious endeavor to use nothing but historical fact when these facts are known.” She apparently did a great deal of research to dig up as many facts as she could. Katherine and John are ancestors to King Henry VII and to the current royal family. Since I don’t know much British history, I looked up these two names. Katherine, first published in 1954, is the story of Katherine Swynford, mistress and then wife of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. ![]()
