Benjamin Woolley is an author, media journalist and television presenter.[1]

In 2018, he published The King's Assassin,[2] about the affair between James VI and I and George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham. In its review, Kirkus reviews considered it a "perfect choice for readers who love English history, especially the Stuart period."[3] In 2024, it formed the basis for Mary & George, a British historical drama miniseries created by D. C. Moore starring Julianne Moore.[4]

Biography[edit]

Woolley studied Philosophy & Politics at Durham University, graduating in 1979.[5] Woolley currently teaches English Literature at Goldsmiths, University of London.
