{"product_id":"books-richard-ii-by-kathryn-warner","title":"Richard II","description":"Richard II is a figure famous in England's national myths - the king who went insane, the narcissist, the tyrant of Shakespeare's play. History regards his rule either as that of a superhuman monarch or a crazed and vicious ruler. But Richard II was a complex and conflicted man - a person with faults and shortcomings thrust into a role that demanded greatness. In this book, Kathryn Warner returns with the first modern biography of Richard II in decades, to paint a portrait of the king with all of his strengths and imperfections left in the picture. An aesthete and patron of the arts as well as a person troubled by a much-maligned 'personality disorder', Richard II here emerges from behind the mask of a theatrical character.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53674633298193,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781445694412.jpg?v=1781534707","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-richard-ii-by-kathryn-warner","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
