{"product_id":"the-death-of-king-arthur","title":"Simon Armitage: The Death of King Arthur [2012] paperback","description":"POET LAUREATE \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Alliterative Morte Arthure - the title given to a  four-thousand line poem written sometime around 1400 - was part of a  medieval Arthurian revival which produced such masterpieces as Sir  Gawain and the Green Knight and Sir Thomas Malory's prose Morte  D'Arthur. The Death  of King Arthur deals in the cut-and-thrust of warfare and politics:  the ever-topical matter of Britain's relationship with continental  Europe, and of its military interests overseas. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimon Armitage is already the master of this  alliterative music, as his earlier version of Sir Gawain and the  Green Knight (2006) so resourcefully and exuberantly showed. His new  translation restores a neglected masterpiece of story-telling, by  bringing vividly to life its entirely medieval mix of ruthlessness and  restraint.","brand":"Armitage, Simon","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":47796083294547,"sku":"XV80571249480","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/armitage-simon-the-death-of-king-arthur-xv80571249480-54884665819475.jpg?v=1726316055","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/the-death-of-king-arthur","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
