I haven't read The Woman in White, which is ridiculous, but there are strange gaps in what I have read which I keep quiet about...(I've never read War and Peace! Or the Scarlett Letter! shhh)
I agree about the bravado, and to use someone so recent as well, who some people would have a living memory of. I'm sure I've blathered on about Wolf Hall to you already, but Hilary Mantel was very brave in what she did with Thomas Cromwell, although this was safer as we are such a distance from those events and have much less record of them. (oh god HURRY with the sequel, Hilary!)
