In Wolf Hall, the first of Hilary Mantel's Booker-Prize winning Cromwell trilogy, Mantel approached history sidelong, focusing keenly on a figure of no great public sympathy. Of course, the thing about houses close to rivers - or to kings - is that it only takes one tempest to remind you not everything holds. As if to spite the landed nobles who look down on him, he builds his own walled estate in the heart of the city, as near to the source of his power as he can get. He's spent two books laying foundations both metaphorical and literal, and as his star rises under King Henry VIII, his London house - Austin Friars, close to the Thames - expands practically to a castle keep. How?Īt the start of The Mirror & The Light, Thomas Cromwell is a man very much at home. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.

Leone and Richard Ormond, Lord Leighton, Yale, 1975, p. His carefully composed pictures of elegant women fuse implicit sensuality, gorgeous color and fantastic juxtapositions. Ernest Rhys, Sir Frederick Leighton, Bart., PRA, London, 1895, p.
