Dolan compares Hillary Mantel's novel <em>Wolf Hall</em>, recent winner of the Man Booker Prize, to Philippa Gregory's popular <em>The Other Boleyn Girl</em>. Dolan is the author of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100505044859/http://www.upenn.edu/pennpress/book/14439.html"><em>Marriage and Violence: The Early Modern Legacy</em></a>. </p></blockquote> <p style="text-align: center;">Wolf Hall: Another Spin on the Other Boleyn?</p> <p>Hillary Mantel, whose novel <em>Wolf Hall</em> recently won a Man Booker Prize, might seem to be in a rather different league than Philippa Gregory, author of numerous best-selling novels about Tudor queens. Focusing on Henry VIII’s secretary, Thomas Cromwell, Mantel gives us a Tudor court of cool calculation rather than ripping bodices and throbbing passions. By leaving sex out of it, for the most part, and putting men rather than women at the heart of her story, Mantel raises the prestige of the historical novel set in Tudor England and has collected kudos as a consequence. Stopping short of the events many would consider climactic—Anne Boleyn’s fall and execution, Cromwell’s own execution--Mantel frees us to remember that these developments weren’t inevitable and offers us a new slant on a story that, she assumes, we already know. Her novel ends with Cromwell planning for Henry’s entourage to visit Wolf Hall, the Seymour family home. Unless the reader knows that Henry’s interest in Jane Seymour is supposed to have intensified during this visit, establishing Jane as the successor to Anne, neither this ending nor the book’s title makes much sense. While Henry’s wives and mistresses remain key pawns in this account, the players are men such as Cromwell.</p> <p>The most vividly depicted female character in Wolf Hall is Anne’s sister, Mary. Since Mary is also the protagonist of Gregory’s blockbuster <em>The Other Boleyn Girl</em>, and the film of the same name, I thought it would be useful to consider whether Mantel offers us a new perspective on her. </p> </div> <p class="entry-more-link"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100505044859/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/2009/12/wolf-hall-another-spin-on-the-other-boleyn.html#more">Continue reading "Wolf Hall: Another Spin on the Other Boleyn?" »</a> </p> </div> <div class="entry-footer"> <p class="entry-footer-info"> <span class="post-footers">Posted by PennPress on December 21, 2009 at 02:04 PM in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100505044859/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/books/">Books</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100505044859/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/essay/">Essay</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100505044859/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/european_world_history/">European & World History</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100505044859/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/gender_studies/">Gender Studies</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100505044859/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/literature_cultural_studies/">Literature & Cultural Studies</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100505044859/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/medieval_renaissance_studies/">Medieval & Renaissance Studies</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100505044859/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/womens-studies/">Women's Studies</a> </span> <span class="separator">|</span> <a class="permalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100505044859/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/2009/12/wolf-hall-another-spin-on-the-other-boleyn.html">Permalink</a> <span class="separator">|</span> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100505044859/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/2009/12/wolf-hall-another-spin-on-the-other-boleyn.html#comments">Comments (0)</a> </p>  <p class="entry-footer-tags"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100505044859/http://www.technorati.com/search/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/2009/12/wolf-hall-another-spin-on-the-other-boleyn.html" title="Find related items at Technorati.">Technorati Tags</a>: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100505044859/http://technorati.com/tag/Anne%2BBoleyn" rel="tag">Anne Boleyn</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100505044859/http://technorati.com/tag/Mary%2BBoleyn" rel="tag">Mary Boleyn</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100505044859/http://technorati.com/tag/Queen%2BElizabeth" rel="tag">Queen Elizabeth</a> </p>  </div> </div> <div class="entry-category-american_history_studies entry-category-anthropology entry-category-current_affairs entry-category-essay entry-category-european_world_history entry-category-foreign_policy entry-category-human_rights_law entry-category-now_in_paperback entry-category-political_science entry-category-religion entry-category-religious_studies entry-author-pennpress entry-type-post entry" id="entry-6a00d8341d68da53ef0120a6bd7a8b970b"> <h3 class="entry-header"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100505044859/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/2009/11/the-age-of.html">The Age of Apology--Now In Paperback</a></h3> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="entry-body"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100505044859/http://www.upenn.edu/pennpress/book/14377.html"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong> The Age of Apology: Facing Up to the Past</strong></font></a> <br/>Edited by Mark Gibney, Rhoda E.

In the following essay, Megan J. Elias, historian and author of <em><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100505044859/http://www.upenn.edu/pennpress/book/14441.html" target="_blank">Stir It Up: Home Economics in American Culture</a></em>, has the cure--corn meal, powdered milk, and a dose of an under-appreciated discipline known as Home Economics.</p></blockquote><p><em>Milkorno to the Rescue?</em></p><p>Record rates of home foreclosures, milk at $5 a gallon, childhood obesity on the rise--where are the home economists when you need them? A century ago, a movement arose in America to give ordinary people the kind of power over their everyday lives that they now seem to have surrendered to marketing firms. Biologists and chemists joined sociologists, psychologists, and economists to look at the humdrum of family budgets, daily meals, and intergenerational relations. They sought to understand the connections between all the little things that make up the domestic sphere and the wider world.</p><p>Thanks to the home economics movement, rural homemakers learned to make low-cost improvements to their houses. Schoolchildren went on field trips to supermarkets to see what a dollar could buy. In government laboratories researchers worked out the "irreducibles" of the human diet. At every turn, home economists exhorted their audience to make the most out of the least. Buy cheap cuts of meat; use all your leftovers; maximize space in the house you already live in; remake last winter's coat into jackets for the kids; find entertainment and happiness at home.

Hers is a spectacular story--Henry left Catherine, his wife of almost twenty-four years, for Anne, finally marrying her when she was pregnant with Elizabeth, future queen of England. Three years after Henry married Anne, she was tried on trumped up charges of adultery, incest, and conspiracy to murder the king, convicted, and executed. The next day, Henry was betrothed to his third wife, Jane Seymour.  Sex, scheming, ambition, power, and violence: perhaps it is unsurprising that this story is told so often. “You think you know the story,” teases an ad for the Showtime series <em>The Tudors</em>, now in its second season, promising to tell us something new. But many people do know the story. The question is why.
