Hilary Mantel at the Daunt Debates

Last week Hilary Mantel’s brilliant novel, Wolf Hall, was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. Set amidst the rich incidents of 1520’s England, Wolf Hall explores the intersection of individual psychology and wider politics, peeling back history to show us Tudor England and its most intriguing figures in a strikingly original light.

Hilary recently participated in the Daunts Debates, where she discussed her personal fascination with the historical period of Wolf Hall, and touched on the process of bringing characters like Thomas Cromwell, Thomas More and Henry VIII to life.
