{"product_id":"the-burning-time","title":"The Burning Time","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen the Catholic Church brought The Burning Time-aka  the Inquisition-to Ireland  it met a resistance such as it met nowhere else in Europe. Leading the rebellion was one remarkable noblewoman: Dame Alyce Kyteler  who refused to grant the Church power over her  her lands or her people  and refused to stop the practice of the Old Religion. In a tale based on actual historic documents and court transcripts  The Burning Time tells the tale of how Dame Alyce is marked as a dangerous heretic by an ambitious emissary of the Pope  who stakes his future on bringing her to heel. To lose the battle with Dame Alyce  he tells his superiors  is to loose all of Ireland. But Dame Alyce is just as determined to fight back against the invaders injustice  its forced imposition of a new religion  and its blatant land grab. After she outwits the Church in a court trial  there is no return: Against the penalty of being burned at the stake  she risks all to protect her people  her faith and her beloved Ireland. Armies are mustered and battle plans laid  and what ensues is a vivid account of an astonishing but little-known woman  and a gripping tale of bravery  treachery  guile and redemption. Robin Morgan is one of the founders of contemporary American feminism  and the author of numerous germinal books about the womens movement including three classic anthologies: Sisterhood Is Powerful  Sisterhood Is Global  and Sisterhood Is Forever. Morgan is also an award-winning poet  and the author of the bestsellers Saturdays Child: A Memoir and The Demon Lover: The Roots of Terrorism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44952124620853,"sku":"ByrdShop_193363300X","price":32.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781933633008.jpg?v=1770151674","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-burning-time","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
