{"product_id":"2940149206650","title":"History of York","description":"When the future King George VI visited York in 1923 to receive the Freedom of the City, he proclaimed that 'The history of York is the history of England'.\u003cbr\u003eAnyone reading this new history of York will be inclined to agree with him. Written by ten leading authorities on York's past, it traces the city from its foundations as a Roman legionary fort through to the floods at the end of the second millennium. On the way, the reader follows the city as it becomes a centre of Viking-Age trade, a great medieval town, dominated by its Minster, at the centre of affairs during the turbulent Tudor and Stuart periods and finally taking shape through industrial and technological revolutions to the city we know today. Every aspect of English history can be found in York.\u003cbr\u003eFully illustrated, this new work presents York's history in a single, readable volume with a full bibliography for those wanting to take their interest further. It is likely to become the standard work on York's history for years to come.","brand":"Blackthorn Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175657849072,"sku":"2940149206650","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149206650_p0.jpg?v=1763713357","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149206650","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
