{"product_id":"the-fifth-queen-ford-madox-ford-9780307744913","title":"The Fifth Queen","description":"Ford Madox Ford's novel about the doomed Katharine Howard, fifth queen of Henry VIII, is a neglected masterpiece. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKat Howard--intelligent, beautiful, naively outspoken, and passionately idealistic--catches the eye of Henry VIII and improbably becomes his fifth wife. A teenager who has grown up far from court, she is wholly unused to the corruption and intrigue that now surround her. It is a time of great upheaval, as unscrupulous courtiers maneuver for power while religious fanatics--both Protestant and Catholic--fight bitterly for their competing beliefs. Soon Katharine is drawn into a perilous showdown with Thomas Cromwell, the much-feared Lord Privy Seal, as her growing influence over the King begins to threaten too many powerful interests. Originally published in three parts (\u003ci\u003eThe Fifth Queen, Privy Seal, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Fifth Queen Crowned\u003c\/i\u003e), Ford's novel serves up both a breathtakingly visual evocation of the Tudor world and a timeless portrayal of the insidious operations of power and fear in any era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ford Madox Ford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0307744914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307744913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 1.10d","brand":"Ford Madox Ford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072187691263,"sku":"9780307744913","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_61bfeb1f-c3e7-479e-b90d-8fa4e24b4e41.jpg?v=1685440459","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-fifth-queen-ford-madox-ford-9780307744913","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
