{"product_id":"malory-christina-hardyment-9780060935290","title":"Malory: The Knight Who Became King Arthur's Chronicler","description":"\u003cp\u003eVirtually all modern versions of the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table are derived from a single book: Sir Thomas Malory's \u003cem\u003eMorte d'Arthur\u003c\/em\u003e (1469), one of the world's most renowned literary works. Yet the author, a fifteenth-century knight, has remained an enigma for centuries. Existing historical records imply that Malory was a criminal--accused of rape, ambush, rustling, and attacks on abbeys--and was imprisoned for most of his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing evidence from new historical research and deductions from the only known manuscript copy of Malory's celebrated work, Christina Hardyment brilliantly resolves the contradictions about an extraordinary man and a life marked equally by great achievement and devastating disgrace. \u003cem\u003eMalory\u003c\/em\u003e is the fascinating chronicle of a loyal soldier enmeshed in the tangled politics of the Wars of the Roses. It is the story of a connoisseur of literature and exemplary writer who created a masterpiece meant to inspire princes and knights to high endeavors and noble acts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christina Hardyment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0060935294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060935290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/26\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.05w x 1.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2017 pg. 48","brand":"Christina Hardyment","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990060892415,"sku":"9780060935290","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cc587c83-1b0a-41a3-8721-a1d6748ca4c3.jpg?v=1683302776","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/malory-christina-hardyment-9780060935290","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
