An accessible and authoritative companion to the bestselling Wolf
Hall trilogy by Hilary Mantel, published after the third and final
book, The Mirror and the Light. Wolf Hall Companion gives an
historian's view of what we know about Thomas Cromwell, one of the
most powerful men of the Tudor age and the central character in
Mantel's Wolf Hall trilogy. Covering the key court and political
characters from the books, this companion guide also works as a
concise Tudor history primer. Alongside Thomas Cromwell, the author
explores characters including Anne Boleyn, Thomas Cranmer, Jane
Seymour, Henry VIII, Thomas Howard, Cardinal Wolsey and Richard
Fox. The important places in the court of Henry VIII are introduced
and put into context, including Hampton Court, the Tower of London,
Cromwell's home Austin Friars, and of course Wolf Hall. The author
explores not only the real history of these people and places, but
also Hilary Mantel's interpretation of them. Included in the book
are also incisive features on various aspects of Tudor life, from
the court scene and the structure of government, to royal hunting
and hawking, Renaissance influences and Tudor executions. A
beautiful and insightful book, Wolf Hall Companion will enrich the
reading of the Mantel novels but also provides an incisive and
concise understanding of the reign of Henry VIII, and the profound
changes it brought to English life. Illustrated throughout with
woodcut portraits, maps and family trees and with a beautifully
produced cover - this companion guide is a must-have for any
discerning Wolf Hall and Tudor fan.
