The Henrician period is back in the news (actually, when is it out?) with yesterday's award of the Man Booker Prize to Hilary Mantel for Wolf Hall, treating Thomas Cromwell, the Anne Boleyn marriage, and it's dissolution. The title refers to Wolf Hall, the seat of the Seymour family, and home of Henry's next wife, Jane Seymour. Reviews here, here, and here (the last a terrific review by Colin Burrow in the London Review).
