Since then I have been on a long journey, with the good companionship of archivists, artists, booksellers, librarians, actors, producers, and – most importantly – millions of readers through the world.”
I didn’t know at first I would write a trilogy, but gradually I realised the richness and fascination of this extraordinary life.
Cromwell must navigate deadly political intrigue, Henry VIII’s tempestuous relationship with future queen Anne Boleyn (Claire Foy, The Queen), and the religious upheavals of the Protestant reformation.Īuthor Hilary Mantel said “When I began work on my Thomas Cromwell books back in 2005, I had high hopes, but it took time to feel out the full scope of the material. The ever-loyal Cromwell serves a king who is obsessed with protecting the Tudor dynasty by securing his succession with a male heir to the throne. Through 6-episodes, the 2015 BBC period mini-series adapted from Mantel’s books, followed Thomas Cromwell’s (Mark Rylance, Dunkirk) rise in social hierarchy from a blacksmith’s son, to King Henry VIII’s (Damian Lewis, The Forsyte Saga) chief minister. “The Mirror and the Light” (publishing March 5th 2020), is the third book in Mantel’s Booker Prize-winning Tudor era trilogy about Thomas Cromwell, after Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies. With The Mirror and the Light, Mantel 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.
