{"product_id":"9780253111777","title":"The History of King Richard the Third: A Reading Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe History of King Richard the Third is Thomas More's English\u003cbr\u003e masterpiece. With the help of Shakespeare, whose Richard the Third took More's work\u003cbr\u003e as its principal model, the History determined the historical reputation of an\u003cbr\u003e English king and spawned a seemingly endless controversy about the justness of that\u003cbr\u003e reputation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge M. Logan has produced a scholarly yet\u003cbr\u003e accessible edition of the History, designed to make More's exhilarating work fully\u003cbr\u003e accessible to 21st-century readers. More's text is presented here with modern\u003cbr\u003e English spelling and punctuation, and with full annotation of linguistic\u003cbr\u003e difficulties and the historical background. The text is preceded by a general\u003cbr\u003e introduction, a chronology, and suggestions for further reading. An appendix\u003cbr\u003e reprints passages from key sources and analogues, enabling the reader to see how\u003cbr\u003e More worked with his English sources and classical models, and finally how\u003cbr\u003e Shakespeare worked with More.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47067637285104,"sku":"9780253111777","price":14.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780253111777_p0.jpg?v=1763681775","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780253111777","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
