{"product_id":"richard-iii-david-hipshon-9780415462808","title":"Richard III","description":"\u003cp\u003eDespite reigning for only a relatively short period of time, Richard III is one of England's most controversial monarchs. His life and rule has inspired a huge amount of literature, not least Shakespeare's great play, and controversy still surrounds his seizure of the throne in 1485, the mystery of the disappearance of the Princes in the Tower, and his defeat and death at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new biography takes a nuanced view both of Richard III's reign and of the controversies surrounding it, exploring them in the wider context of the period. Defining Richard's character as central to the analysis of his actions, David Hipshon emphasises the need to separate the man himself from the caricature that has so often been painted. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncorporating new research and previously unpublished material, this book is a must-read for all those interested both in Richard III as king, and in the development of the English monarchy and society at the end of the medieval era and the beginning of the early modern period. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Hipshon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415462800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415462808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2011 pg. 30","brand":"David Hipshon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112893624575,"sku":"9780415462808","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7e8e745e-17c6-4d36-ba58-59365fc6c758.jpg?v=1769611654","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/richard-iii-david-hipshon-9780415462808","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
