{"product_id":"this-long-pursuit","title":"This Long Pursuit","description":"\u003cp\u003e`A masterly performance by the greatest literary biographer of his generation' Oldie\n                              In this kaleidoscope of stories spanning art, science and poetry, award-winning writer Richard Holmes travels across three centuries, through much of Europe and into the lively company of many earlier biographers.\n\n\n                              Central to this pursuit is a powerful evocation of the lives of women both scientific and literary, some well-known and others almost lost: Margaret Cavendish, Mary Somerville, Germaine de Stael, Mary Wollstonecraft and Zelide. He investigates the love-stunned John Keats, the waterlogged Percy Bysshe Shelley, the chocolate-box painter Thomas Lawrence, the opium-soaked genius Coleridge, and the mad-visionary bard William Blake.\n\n\n                              The diversity of Holmes's material is testimony to his empathy, erudition and at times his mischievous streak. This is his most personal and seductive writing yet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Collins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42972437840038,"sku":"9780008168728","price":19.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0443\/8471\/4918\/products\/9780008168728_1_1c7dcbf7-a460-4e45-b355-a016d1392f49.jpg?v=1656041233","url":"https:\/\/bookxcess.myshopify.com\/products\/this-long-pursuit","provider":"Staging Site ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
