There’s no such thing as a trademark Mantel sentence. Mantel has no consistent, easily identifiable set of novelistic preoccupations - unless it’s the persistence of evil in a world that doesn’t always recognize it - and no fallback kit of stylistic tricks. She has written two earlier historical novels - “A Place of Greater Safety,” about the French Revolution, and “The Giant, O’Brien,” about an 18th-century Irishman who becomes a scientific curiosity - but also a pair of what might be called political thrillers, set in Saudi Arabia and southern Africa a couple of black comedies about a woman named Muriel Axon, a murderer and psychopath and two books that in different ways suggest a Muriel Spark influence: “Fludd,” about a Roman Catholic parish whose new curate is the Devil in disguise, and “An Experiment in Love,” an hommage of sorts to “The Girls of Slender Means.” “Beyond Black,” Mantel’s last novel before she began the Tudor sequence, was also Spark-like in its surreal description of a character who makes her living summoning forth the spirits of the dead, but it had an amplitude, warmth and generosity very unlike Spark, and its style in turn could not have been less like the sparkling historical realism of “Wolf Hall.” Her new book, “Bring Up the Bodies,” a sequel to “Wolf Hall,” is one of very few Mantel novels that bear much resemblance to any of the others. But another reason she isn’t better known may be that she’s a hard novelist to know, or at least to categorize: she’s always reinventing herself. There may be nonliterary reasons for this: Mantel, who has been in ill health for much of her life, doesn’t live in London, doesn’t have a posh accent, doesn’t travel much, doesn’t regularly turn up on the chat shows. Yet until “Wolf Hall,” her historical novel about the reign of Henry VIII, won the Man Booker Prize in 2009, she was much less well known in Britain, and in this country she barely registered at all.
