{"product_id":"9780141908007","title":"The Hollow Crown: A History of Britain in the Late Middle Ages","description":"12775B - \u003cp\u003eThere is no more haunting, compelling period in Britain's history than the later middle ages.  The extraordinary kings - Edward III and Henry V the great warriors, Richard II and Henry VI, tragic inadequates killed by their failure to use their power, and Richard III, the demon king.  The extraordinary events - the Black Death that destroyed a third of the population, the Peasants' Revolt, the Wars of the Roses, the Battle of Agincourt.  The extraordinary artistic achievements - the great churches, castles and tombs that still dominate the landscape, the birth of the English language in The Canterbury Tales.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the first time in a generation, a historian has had the vision and confidence to write a spell-binding account of the era immortalised by Shakespeare's history plays.  THE HOLLOW CROWN brilliantly brings to life for the reader a world we have long lost - a strange, Catholic, rural country of monks, peasants, knights and merchants, almost perpetually at war - but continues to define so much of England's national myth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147923177712,"sku":"9780141908007","price":19.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780141908007_p0.jpg?v=1763656446","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780141908007","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
