Judith Arnopp’s standalone novels cover a broad sweep of English history. Peaceweaver (2009) is set in the Anglo-Saxon period, while The Song of Heledd (2012) draws on Welsh legend. Her Tudor novels, including The Winchester Goose, The Kiss of the Concubine, and A Song of Sixpence, focus on the lives of women caught up in the political and religious upheavals of the sixteenth century.
Arnopp writes from the perspective of real historical women, often those who have been overlooked or simplified by popular accounts. The Kiss of the Concubine (2013) retells the story of Anne Boleyn, while Intractable Heart (2014) examines Mary Tudor. Sisters of Arden (2019) and The Heretic Wind (2020) continue this approach with different historical figures.
Her more recent work, The Book of Thornhold (2024) and Marguerite: Hell Hath No Fury (2025), shows she is still actively publishing and reaching further back in history. How to Dress Like a Tudor (2025) is a non-fiction departure that applies her research knowledge to a practical topic. Arnopp self-publishes her novels and has built a dedicated readership among fans of Tudor and medieval historical fiction.
