Abstract

Ranjita Pati’s “Fantasy and Historiography: Dymystifying Cromwell” reads two novels by Hillary Mantel, and locates the figure of Thomas Cromwell, the ancestor of the famed Oliver Cromwell, within his historical and political contexts. The role and progress of the character from the humble origins to influencing the king forms the major part of the novel’s plot, and the subject is intriguing as this portion of history has not been studied much, something which this paper aims to redress.
