Life

Mantel grew up in a large Irish Catholic family who had lived in England for two generations, the first six of them with their Irish grandmother, whose endless flow of speech and vocabulary she absorbed. After her parents, Margaret and Henry Thompson separated, she took the name of her stepfather , Jack Mantel, at age eleven . Her family background is the driving force behind most of her publications. Her novels are about the “lazy compromises of the people's church” and the “panicked fantasies of Islamic fundamentalism” (according to Patrick Bahners ).

Mantel studied law at the London School of Economics and Political Science and the University of Sheffield , where she received her bachelor's degree in 1973 . She initially worked as a social worker . After their marriage in 1972, she lived with her husband Gerald McEwen for five years in Botswana from 1977 , then for four years in Jeddah in Saudi Arabia . From 1987 to 1991 she worked as a film critic for the Spectator . She started writing as early as 1974.

The Royal Shakespeare Company staged their novels Wolf Hall and Bring up the Bodies in Stratford upon Avon in 2013 . A television series of the same name based on Wolf Hall was broadcast on BBC Two in 2015 . The six-part production ran on Arte on German-speaking television . Also in 2015, DuMont published her autobiography Von Geist und Geistern . In 2018 Walter Adler designed a 26-part radio play series from her novel Brothers for WDR.

After Wolves and Falcons , Mantel's novel The Mirror and the Light concluded her trilogy about Thomas Cromwell in 2020 .

In 2009 her novel Wolf Hall received the Booker Prize, the most important English literary prize. In 2010 she was awarded the Walter Scott Prize for the novel . In 2015, this novel was chosen by the BBC's selection of the best 20 novels from 2000 to 2014 as one of the most important works of this century to date. In 2012, the sequel to this novel, Falken ( Bring up the Bodies ), won the Booker Prize. After the South African JM Coetzee and the Australian Peter Carey , Mantel is the third person to have won the award twice. She also received the Costa Book Award in 2012 for Bring up the Bodies . In 2013, Mantel was awarded the David Cohen Prize for her life's work .
