"A photography book that is a vital accompaniment to the many fans of Hilary Mantel's bestselling Wolf Hall Trilogy. "At the very beginning of the twentieth century, Zola said, 'In my view you cannot claim to have really seen something till you have photographed it.' The act of photographing, at least for a moment, distinguishes its object and estranges it from its context ... Every stroke of the pen releases a thousand pictures inside the writer's head. This book has made some of them visible."--Hilary Mantel. Hilary Mantel, Ben Miles, the stage's celebrated Thomas Cromwell, and his brother, photographer George Miles, spent many years exploring the locations we know Thomas Cromwell visited and inhabited--Putney, Austin Friars, Wolf Hall, the Tower of London--to capture the faint traces of Tudor England and his extraordinary life. Accompanied with extracts from The Wolf Hall Trilogy, some of them published here for the first time, and including a stunning new essay by its author, these photographs reveal a world that is shadowy, frightening, sometimes whimsical--a portrait of a country in conversation with its past"--- Subjects: Photobooks.; Cromwell, Thomas, Earl of Essex, 1485?-1540; Mantel, Hilary, 1952-2022.;

- The mirror & the light / by Mantel, Hilary,1952-author.; sequel to:Mantel, Hilary,1952-Bring up the bodies.;
""If you cannot speak truth at a beheading, when can you speak it?" England, May 1536. Anne Boleyn is dead, decapitated in the space of a heartbeat by a hired French executioner. As her remains are bundled into oblivion, Thomas Cromwell breakfasts with the victors. The blacksmith's son from Putney emerges from the spring's bloodbath to continue his climb to power and wealth, while his formidable master, Henry VIII, settles to short-lived happiness with his third queen before Jane dies giving birth to the male heir he most craves. Cromwell is a man with only his wits to rely on; he has no great family to back him, no private army. Despite rebellion at home, traitors plotting abroad and the threat of invasion testing Henry's regime to the breaking point, Cromwell's robust imagination sees a new country in the mirror of the future. But can a nation, or a person, shed the past like a skin? Do the dead continually unbury themselves? What will you do, the Spanish ambassador asks Cromwell, when the king turns on you, as sooner or later he turns on everyone close to him? With The Mirror & the Light, Hilary Mantel brings to a triumphant close the trilogy she began with Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies. She traces the final years of Thomas Cromwell, the boy from nowhere who climbs to the heights of power, offering a defining portrait of predator and prey, of a ferocious contest between present and past, between royal will and a common man's vision: of a modern nation making itself through conflict, passion, and courage"--- Subjects: Historical fiction.; Cromwell, Thomas, Earl of Essex, 1485?-1540;
