{"product_id":"9780141979892","title":"Richard II: A Brittle Glory","description":"\u003cp\u003eRichard II (1377-99) came to the throne as a child, following the long, domineering, martial reign of his grandfather Edward III. He suffered from the disastrous combination of a most exalted sense of his own power and an inability to impress that power on those closest to the throne. Neither trusted nor feared, Richard battled with a whole series of failures and emergencies before finally succumbing to a coup, imprisonment and murder. Laura Ashe's brilliant account of his reign emphasizes the strange gap between Richard's personal incapacity and the amazing cultural legacy of his reign - from the Wilton Diptych to Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Piers Plowman and The Canterbury Tales.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47011694805232,"sku":"9780141979892","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780141979892_p0.jpg?v=1763656486","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780141979892","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
