title = "Hilary Mantel{\textquoteright}s Wolf Hall(s) and the Circulation of Cultural Prestige",
abstract = "Hilary Mantel{\textquoteright}s best-selling and prize-winning novels Wolf Hall (2009) and Bring Up The Bodies (2012) are exemplary texts in the recent development of high-culture historical fiction and in the centrality of adaptive processes to cultural production and consumption. They belong to a long-denigrated genre which is inherently adaptive, and which is currently shifting its cultural position from mass popularity towards cultural respectability. This process is central to the novels{\textquoteright} adaptation for stage and screen. In both adaptations, the transmission of cultural prestige between institutions and art forms is a central concern, as is revealed by authorial involvement, the broad cultural framing and institutional reception of the adaptations, and their use of formal techniques as indicators of prestige.",
