On the release of two-time Booker Prize winner Hilary Mantel's final book, A Memoir of My Former Self, we've got two articles on one of Mantel's best-loved books: Wolf Hall.
Tap the link in our bio to read, in Hilary Mantel's own words, how she wanted to create a sense of history listening and talking to itself, and reveals her relish for Thomas Cromwell’s company.
You'll also find an essay by Nicholas Pearson, Mantel's editor, in which recalls the moment in 2005, when Mantel sent in the first 40 pages of a new book, which would transform not only her career, but our expectations of historical fiction. If you want to know how Wolf Hall came to life, you're going to want to read this.
