Mantel, who was brought up a Catholic, maintains an ambiguous stance towards the nature of organised religion.

Hilary Mantel interview - Telegraph

I might very well have chosen not to have children.
. . .
'And this is the point where the person who is driven by their will comes up against the closed door, the brick wall, and starts banging their head on it.
. . .
Your life has become unpunctuated, whereas the lives of other women around you have these distinct phases.’ Mantel has some thought- provoking views on women and fertility in general.
. . .
If there were some paradise for women, both those models would be valid.
. . .
It is a question of the way people orientate themselves to you when you have had the label of big success.
. . .
Henry had to be written out of history.’ Mantel never tried to trace her father.

Review: Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel | Books | The Guardian

This makes him an ideal emissary for Wolsey's project of liquidating some smaller monasteries to fund a school and an Oxford college.
. . .
Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel Buy it from the Guardian bookshop Search the Guardian bookshop In Wolf Hall, Mantel persuasively depicts this beefy pen-pusher and backstairs manoeuvrer as one of the most appealing - and, in his own way, enlightened - characters of the period.
. . .
He's a sideshow to Wolsey in Shakespeare and Fletcher's Henry VIII, a villain who hounds Thomas More to his death in Robert Bolt's A Man for All Seasons.
. . .
Wolf Hall, the Seymour family seat, is a site of scandal in the novel, a place where men prey on women and the old on the young.
. . .
Above all, Mantel avoids ye olde-style diction, preferring more contemporary phrasing.
. . .
Already displaying toughness, intelligence and a gift for languages, he runs away to the continent as a boy of 15 or so (his date of birth isn't known, and in the novel he doesn't know it himself).

Wolf Hall - Hilary Mantel: an overview of the reviews and critical ...

Mantel�s characterisation is acute (...) Above all, Mantel�s recreation of the era feels both accurate and natural.
. . .
She gives their language period touches, but never falls into pastiche.
. . .
It is a novel about power, both political and supernatural, in which Cromwell manipulates the invisible web of profit just as disgruntled priests conjure up expedient prophets.
. . .
Mantel has a knack for getting under the skin of her characters and capturing them (one feels) as they must have been" - Martin Rubin, Wall Street Journal "(F)rom this seemingly shopworn material, Hilary Mantel has created a novel both fresh and finely wrought: a brilliant portrait of a society in the throes of disorienting change, anchored by a penetrating character study of Henry's formidable advisor, Thomas Cromwell.
. . .
(...) This is a novel too in which nothing is wasted, and nothing completely disappears." - Stephen Greenblatt, The New York Review of Books "This witty, densely populated book may experience a rough passage when it crosses the Atlantic.
. . .
Author of several highly praised novels, she won the Hawthornden Prize in 1996.

Hilary Mantel’s “Wolf Hall” and Thomas Cromwell : The New Yorker

When Henry decides that he needs the castle in which he has stowed his discarded wife, Katherine of Aragon, Cromwell is the one sent to inform the Queen that she is being relocated.

England thereby progressed from the Middle Ages into the modern period, and you can’t make that kind of revolution without breaking eggs.
. . .
Already in his preface, Hutchinson calls Cromwell “a devious, ruthless instrument of the state,” a man who showed no compunction about “trampling underfoot the mangled bodies of those he had exploited or crushed.” But now the excellent novelist Hilary Mantel has joined the tournament, with “Wolf Hall” (Henry Holt; $27), a five-hundred-and-thirty-two-page novel portraying Cromwell as a wise minister and a decent man.

Mantel makes much of Cromwell’s kindness to the disgraced man—a show of loyalty rare in the Tudor snake pit.

Wolf Hall | Hilary Mantel | Macmillan

Deft and diabolical as they are, Ms. Mantel's slyly malicious turns of phrase .
. . .
Part of the delight of masterfully paced Wolf Hall is how utterly modern it feels.
. . .
Cromwell is a wholly original man, a charmer and a bully, both idealist and opportunist, astute in reading people and a demon of energy: he is also a consummate politician, hardened by his personal losses, implacable in his ambition.
