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:
Frances Brooke’s Emancipatory Sensibility centers on an outstanding woman writer whose educational beliefs were consistently liberal and generously favored freedoms that allowed for mistakes as a way of acquiring experience. Brooke also believed in inborn virtue, and her cultural engagement with related philosophies of the human mind and its cultivation deserves greater scholarly attention.
This is the first study to comprehensively discuss her ideas on education, while also paying attention to Brooke’s own learning experiences in the burgeoning London publishing industry. Organized chronologically, the book guides the reader through Brooke’s career and engagement with diverse genres—novels, tragedy, librettos, and essays—that reflect her artistic versatility, feminist convictions, and business resolve. Furthermore, Brooke’s endeavors required increasing amounts of resources, expertise, and recognition—all of which she had to work particularly hard to acquire as a woman, and for which she risked a reputation that was essential to her desired goals.
Through comprehensive analysis, the study illuminates Brooke's sustained engagement with how fiction shapes moral and social formation.
