John this sounds like an absolutely fascinating project! The role of the body in Mantel's books is something I have always been captivated by. And you've included Tyll and The Giant, O'Brien as well. Extraordinary, I look forward to reading more of your ideas.

Thanks! Mantel will probably be next up in this space, since I will be giving a conference paper on her in November. Meanwhile: I’ve just realized that in this draft I neglected to name the book that is the subject of chapter 6: Arthur Phillips’s *The King at the Edge of the World.*

Fabulous. I'll keep a look out. All the best for the conference.

You're on a roll, as @Simon Haisell has so well-stated.
