Cromwell

1 Mantel had been fascinated by Cromwell for decades, ever since she learned, while she was attending a convent-run high school in Cheshire, about Cromwell’s role in dissolving the country’s monasteries.

2 Cromwell plays the older incarnation of a World War II soldier who never has discussed his military experience.

3 She won the Booker in 2009 with "Wolf Hall", her acclaimed 650-page historical novel charting Thomas Cromwell's rise to power in King Henry VIII's court, and is in contention again for the sequel.

4 No matter how well poor Cromwell arranged his face, there is no mask for that.

5 As Thomas Cromwell, the Machiavellian mastermind behind Henry VIII, Ben Miles surveys the comings and goings at court with a watchful reserve that shifts imperceptibly into murderous stealth.

6 There is also a BBC television version of the books in the works, to be broadcast next year, with Mark Rylance as Cromwell and "Homeland" star Damian Lewis as Henry VIII.

7 Cromwell and an activist from an animal-rights group also arrested were released from jail by Thursday afternoon.

8 Possibly in an effort to address this distance, to bring us closer, Cromwell in the first play, played by the superb Ben Miles, is a bit too likable.

9 Ms. Nam, 31, is a corporate associate specializing in mergers and acquisitions in New York at the law firm Sullivan & Cromwell.

10 For this installment, participants will be sequestered in the Cromwell hotel in Las Vegas, not an exotic international site, because of the coronavirus pandemic, which also delayed the season’s debut.

11 Mantel could be back in the frame yet again in 2015, when the third and final installment of her Cromwell trilogy, "The Mirror and the Light", is due to hit the shelves.

12 The Mirror & the Light charts Cromwell’s further consolidation of power following Anne’s death, his religious reforms that cause turmoil across the land, and his eventual downfall.

13 Cromwell keeps a secret Book of Henry, a kind of customized version of Machiavelli’s “The Prince,” in which he can devise strategies for coping with his monarch’s vanities and moods.

14 The 21-strong cast, some playing dual roles, is led by Ben Miles as central character Thomas Cromwell, who is praised by Maxwell for his "unshowy, perfectly judged performance".

15 Cromwell is also, as Mantel sees him, a closet Protestant, monitoring Luther’s battles with Rome and exchanging secret letters with Tyndale, the English translator of the Bible, about the “brutal truth” of the Scriptures.

16 Or maybe Cromwell just intuits Riche will say anything to have More beheaded.

17 “I share in the enthusiasm and anticipation of the many ‘Wolf Hall’ readers who eagerly await the return to Cromwell’s life in the tangled web of Tudor England and Hilary’s vast imagination.”

18 Here is the teenage Cromwell, fleeing home after being savagely beaten by his brutal father; here he is as an adult, networking, plotting and maneuvering his way through political and palace intrigues.

19 Three years on, still without an heir, he was ready for a new wife, and Cromwell was ready for regime change.

20 Or at least, Thomas Cromwell needs to know.
