Roman historique

Angleterre, 1527, Dynastie des Tudors. Le roi Henri VIII n'a pas d'héritier direct pour lui succéder. Situation préoccupante qui pourrait entraîner le pays sur le chemin d'une guerre de succession. Aussi décide-t-il de se séparer de la reine Catherine d'Aragon pour épouser Anne Boleyn dont il est tombé amoureux. Mais son émissaire, le cardinal Wolsey, échoue à obtenir du pape Léon X l'annulation du mariage royal. Un jeune homme plein de ressources va alors entrer dans les bonnes grâces d'Henri VIII et l'aider à vaincre l'opposition de la Cour et de Rome. Son nom : Thomas Cromwell. Ambitieux, idéaliste et opportuniste à la fois, fin politicien et manipulateur-né, celui-ci est au début d'une carrière qui va modifier profondément et durablement le visage du royaume.

Work Description

Wolf Hall (2009) is a historical novel by English author Hilary Mantel, published by Fourth Estate, named after the Seymour family's seat of Wolfhall, or Wulfhall, in Wiltshire. Set in the period from 1500 to 1535, Wolf Hall is a sympathetic fictionalised biography documenting the rapid rise to power of Thomas Cromwell in the court of Henry VIII through to the death of Sir Thomas More. The novel won both the Man Booker Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award. In 2012, The Observer named it as one of "The 10 best historical novels".

The book is the first in a trilogy; the sequel Bring Up the Bodies was published in 2012. The last book in the trilogy is The Mirror and the Light (2020), which covers the last four years of Cromwell's life.
