Tudor Society members get to read the whole magazine and have access to the archives of past Tudor Life issues, going back to September 2014. There are also lots of other benefits of membership: weekly videos, monthly expert talks and live chats etc. and you can find out more at www.tudorsociety.com/. I hope you enjoy the Tudor Society!
Hi Claire –
I am really interested in the Tudor Life magazine, but I don’t think I can afford a full Tudor society membership (saving for a wedding right now!)… I was wondering if there is an opportunity in the works to offer the magazine as a separate subscription? Eventually I’ll work my way up to a Tudor Life subscription, but at this time, it’s just not in the budget!
Thanks!
Hi Nicole,
We do a monthly membership if that helps at all, it’s $13.40 and you can change your subscription too, so go from monthly to six monthly/yearly when you’ve got more of a budget. We won’t be doing the magazine separately as it is part of our membership package.
When are you getting married? Congratulations! How exciting! I hope you have a wonderful day.
Let me know if you need any futher help.
Best Wishes,
Claire
I think I am a Tudor Society member.
How can I see the magazine?

Hi Hubert,
You can view the magazines in our Magazines category at https://www.tudorsociety.com/category/magazines/ once you have logged in. They can be read online or downloaded. Let me know if you have any problems.
I did enjoy Beth von Staats’ article on “Commoners of the English Reformatiion,” but you’ll want to proof her grammar, won’t you? Five times at least she invents the word “reclusants” to mean Roman Catholics who opposed the Church of England. “Reclusant” sounds like “recluse,” one who hides, so perhaps that is the origin of her mistake. The word surely is “recusant,” from the Latin, to refuse or pretend [a cause (not a clause)].
