{"product_id":"richard-ii","title":"Richard II","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this reassessment of Richard II, an outstanding group of international contributors re-evaluates the (frequently biased) evidence to create a new and rounded portrait of this fascinating and much maligned king.  They investigate Richard's contemporary reputation and key aspects of his policies, covering topics which include: the conventions of co-operation between kings and communities; discourse on the nature and purpose of rule; monarchy as spectacle; the\n\u003cbr\u003ecultural expression  of royal personality; and the fiscal basis of government.  They highlight the seriousness of the problems affecting the exercise of kingship, and show how the traditional and innovative\n\u003cbr\u003epanaceas attempted by a conventionally-minded prince resulted in his downfall.  It is a study which repositions the reign within he evolution of English kingship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44061910106350,"sku":"9780199262205","price":122.18,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780199262205.jpg?v=1706248569","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/richard-ii","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
