These are real people that we study. They loved and they hated and they feared and they hoped. They lived and they died. And you spend time with them, and sometimes you mourn them.

If you don’t like Mantel’s portrayal of Thomas Cromwell it is in your power to write (or, still more easily and plausibly, recommend) a better one. If you kill an archive there is not another one waiting to take its place, and you lose the material basis for better representations into the bargain.
