The lowly-born Thomas Cromwell is given the task of making this possible, despite opposition from the papacy and the political establishment. How he sets about doing this re-shapes England. We shall study: Wolf Hall (2009), which charts Cromwell\u2019s rise to greatness; Bring Up the Bodies (2012), which covers the machinations that led to Boleyn\u2019s beheading; and The Mirror and the Light (2020), which is a more difficult read for all those who find Mantel\u2019s Thomas Cromwell a sympathetic character.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended reading:<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u25cf Wolf Hall<br \/>\n\u25cf Bring Up the Bodies<br \/>\n\u25cf The Mirror and the Light<br \/>\nAll three novels are by Hilary Mantel<\/p>\n<p><strong>Requirements:<\/strong>\u00a0Please, bring your own face mask<\/p>\n<p><strong>Day:\u00a0 Wednesdays\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Time: 10.00-12.00\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>6 sessions,<\/strong> starting 27th April 2022 to 1st June 2022<\/p>\n<p>Please note: this is a face-to-face course.<\/p>\n<p><b>VENUE<\/b>:<br \/>\nPrestbury Methodist Church,<br \/>\nMacclesfield Road,<br \/>\nPrestbury<br \/>\nSK10 4BN<\/p>\n<p><strong>Price for the Series:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<table width=\"560\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"52\"><strong>Price<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"119\"><strong>Concessions<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"168\"><strong>Minimum No.<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"221\"><strong>Maximum No.<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"52\">\u00a360<\/td>\n<td width=\"119\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"168\">15<\/td>\n<td width=\"221\">25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Send bookings to : Creina Mansfield Beech Court, Beech Hall Drive, Macclesfield, SK10 2EF email: creina.m@hotmail.com<\/p>\n<p>Or Michael Tunnicliffe 5 St George\u2019s Way, Northwich CW9 8XG email: mtunni@sky.com<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"edit-link\"><a class=\"post-edit-link\" href=\"https:\/\/mancent.org.uk\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=4166&amp;action=edit\">EDIT<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creina Mansfield &amp; Michael Tunnicliffe \u2018Man is wolf to man\u2019 in the Tudor Court as personal desires intersect with politics and religion.
