Red Shelley, Thomas Cromwell, Peter Mandelson et al

Finished reading Wolf Hall today, all 650 small print pages. I no longer feel obliged to finish a book , on the grounds that time is running out on me for the books that i really do ant to read. So a duffer gets ditched.Did Cromwell know about Machiavelli, I wonder? He went to Italy according to Hilary Mantel, and he applied many of the hints in The prince to his dealings with Cranmer and Henry , and especially Anne.
I am resolved not to buy either Blair or Mandel sons books. I resisted Campbell's, and sales only encourage more of these these out pourings. So, to reread Red Shelley instead. Paul foot , the author(but you knew that, didn't you?) wrote"If Shelley's great revolutionary poetry--can get to work on the imaginations of the hundreds of thousands of people who have had enough of our rotten society--if that poetry can inspire them--then there is no telling what will happen."So its Shelley versus The Sun-good.
