Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Originally published in 1973, this book examines the urban community of Southampton through its early and formative years. Southampton is one of the most interesting and important medieval towns, because of its position as a ‘gateway’ between England and the Continent. The author uses both historical and archaeological evidence to establish the characteristics of an emergent burgess class: its trading interests, social pre-occupations and tastes. Problems of government, of economic development, defence and faith are discussed as they came to prominence in the community. The close interconnections within the burgess class are emphasized, and the importance of the neighbourhood and of ‘neighbourliness’ is stressed. The study of Southampton’s urban growth reveals much about economic changes and developments during the medieval period and shows a high level of contact between England and the other countries of Europe. The book is fully illustrated and includes chronological tables and extensive appendices.
Original Review of Medieval Southampton:
‘The topographical and biographical work is thorough and absorbing. It is set out clearly and interestingly…the book is beautifully produced. The result is a piece of work which will give much pleasure and instruction.’ A.R. Bridbury, Urban History, Volume 2, No. 63 (1975).
