A certain kind of historian is ever ready to conjure up parallels to the past, casting the Tudors as olden times Kardashians or Kennedys or characters from Game of Thrones. Mantel has no time for this — especially when it comes to comparing the English Reformation to Brexit. For a start, Cromwell was a committed internationalist. And as if historical fiction were an exceptionally tricky and labour-intensive way of doing journalism, but the past is not a rehearsal, it is the show itself.
