Penguin

Penguin is identified in the novel’s acknowledgments as the publisher of a research book used in its preparation. Its documented role here is bibliographic: the name connects a specific source on Tudor life to the author’s account of the works consulted.

Bibliographic Appearance

In a list of books described as essential to writing the novel, the acknowledgments cite Ruth Goodman’s How To Be a Tudor (2015) and give Penguin as its publisher. This is the only evidence-grounded identification of Penguin in the supplied material; it does not establish any publishing role for Penguin in the novel itself.

Place in the Acknowledgments

The citation appears among references to historical and Shakespeare-related research. Penguin is thus recorded as part of the publication details for one source in that bibliography, rather than as a character, setting, or institution involved in the story.

Significance

The brief reference locates Penguin within the novel’s account of its research foundations. The bibliographic detail identifies the edition’s publisher while preserving a distinction between the historical material consulted by the author and the fictional events of the book.
