{"product_id":"malory","title":"Malory","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 Morte d'Arthur (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. Malory 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","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833312850125,"sku":"9780060935290","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_fc484d7b-3558-4be2-b89b-3e9c189b62db.jpg?v=1790817821","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/malory","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
