As she freely concedes, Mantels aim in her novel was to take down the Thomas More of A Man for All Seasonsthe Thomas More the Catholic Church canonizedand her instrument for doing so is Mores rival in the court of Henry VIII, Thomas Cromwell. Hillary Mantel does not lack for chutzpah, for Cromwell has long been considered a loathsome character and More a man of singular nobility. Long considered by those whose opinions are deemed worthy of considering, in other words.
