О премии

Премия «Корона» - английская литературная премия Ассоциации писателей-историков.

Эта награда ежегодно присуждается за лучшие исторические художественные и документальные книги автору любой национальности. Книга должна быть впервые опубликована в Великобритании на английском языке в период проведения судейства.

Премия была организована в 2012 году Ассоциацией писателей-историков (Historical Writers Association/ HWA).

Писатели, издатели и агенты исторической литературы, как художественной, так и научно-популярной, создали Ассоциацию, чтобы оказывать профессиональную и социальную поддержку ее членам, а также создавать возможности онлайн и личных встреч с читателями, коллегами-писателями и любителями всего исторического.

Премия вручается в трех номинациях:
- Золотая Корона / The HWA Gold Crown (за лучший исторический художественный роман);
- Корона документальной литературы / The HWA Non-Fiction Crown (за лучшую документальную историческую работу);
- Корона дебюта / The HWA Debut Crown (за лучшую дебютную историческую книгу).

Первоначально формируется длинный список номинируемых на премию книг.
По каждой номинации имеется свое жюри, члены которого выбирают шесть лучших книг-финалистов.

На церемонии вручения Премии, проходящей в Лондоне, объявляются имена трех лауреатов Премии, по одному в каждой номинации.

Золотая Корона

A riveting novel based on the life of Artemisia Gentileschi—the greatest female painter of the Renaissance—as she forges her own destiny in a world dominated by the will of men.

This is the ring that you gave me, and these are your promises.

A young woman is put on trial. She has accused her painting teacher of the darkest betrayal -- he accuses her of being an immoral liar. What really happened, and why will this trial scandalise seventeenth-century Rome?

Rome 1611. A jewel-bright place of change, with sumptuous new palaces and lavish wealth on constant display. A city where women are seen but not heard.

Artemisia Gentileschi dreams of becoming a great artist. Motherless, she grows up among a family of painters -- men and boys. She knows she is more talented than her brothers, but she cannot choose her own future. She belongs to her father and will belong to a husband.

As Artemisia patiently goes from lesson to lesson, perfecting her craft, a mysterious tutor enters her life. Tassi is a dashing figure, handsome and worldly, and for a moment he represents everything that a life of freedom might offer. But then the unthinkable happens. A violent act that threatens Artemisia's honour, and her virtue.

In the eyes of her family, Artemisia should accept her fate. In the eyes of the law, she is the villain.

But Artemisia is a survivor. And this is her story to tell.

'A truly page-turning, compulsive and also profoundly moving narrative. Superb.' JAMES HOLLAND

'Gripping, urgent, superbly reported and brilliantly written' DAN JONES

'A gripping and pacey book that reads like a thriller. I found it shocking in a world where I didn't think I could be shocked any more. Henry Hemming wears his extensive research very lightly and manages to shape a great narrative from a complex and dark episode from our recent history. An important and skilfully crafted book.' JOHN O'FARRELL

HOW THE DEATH OF A SPY IN THE IRA LED TO ONE OF THE BIGGEST MURDER INVESTIGATIONS IN BRITISH HISTORY.

On 26th May 1986, the body of an undercover British agent was found by the side of a muddy lane, with a rope
tied around its wrists and tape over each eye. Years later, it was reported that this murder might have been carried out by another undercover British agent, known as 'Stakeknife'. In 2016, a detective began to investigate this case, and would soon find himself running the largest murder investigation in British history.

In a compulsive blend of investigative journalism and true crime thriller, Henry Hemming exposes the parallel worlds of the IRA and British intelligence through the lives of those inextricably bound up in both. He reveals the bravery of those who were crucial in ending the Troubles in Northern Ireland, the bloodiest and longest-running conflict in recent British history, and the determination of one detective in his dogged search for justice and the truth.

'a compelling story' - The Times

'[a] gripping and consistently surprising true-life thriller' - Observer

The first in a sharp, witty series of Victorian mystery novels, The Tumbling Girl sees an unlikely duo team up to solve a grisly spate of murders.

1876, Victorian London. Minnie Ward, the feisty scriptwriter for the Variety Palace Music Hall, is devastated when her best friend is found brutally murdered. She enlists the help of private detective Albert Easterbrook, who already has his hands full trying to catch the notorious Hairpin Killer. But Minnie can't help getting involved in the investigation, and as the bodies begin to pile up, Albert's burgeoning feelings for his amateur partner start to interfere...

A dazzling debut for fans of Sarah Waters and Elizabeth Macneal, and shows like Miss Scarlet and the Duke.
