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.

Short description:
An innovative history that reveals the immense plurality of genre, form and even language within Italian premodern poetry.
MoreLong description:
Widening the perspective offered by the traditional canon, this history reveals the poetry of Italy between 1200 and 1600 as a site of plurality of genre, form and even language, including not just written texts but also those presented in performance. Within this inclusive framing, poetry's content, its cultural and geographical contexts and its material media of transmission are given equal weight. Decentring major figures and their texts while recognising their broad influence, the innovative theoretical and methodological framework complements the variety and liveliness of poetic activity on the Italian peninsula over four centuries, from the first manuscript experiments in verse through to sophisticated print productions and elaborate performance media. Offering original, multidisciplinary insights into current debates and discoveries, this history enlarges the scope of what we understand Italian premodern poetry to be.
'The book demands to be read by anyone, no matter what level of familiarity they already possess, with an interest in one of the world's most significant vernacular cultures. Such is the brilliance and newness of this volume, the effect is like reading Italian poetry for the very first time, and learning about how early literature was conceived, produced and consumed. A veritable gem.' Daragh O'Connell, Senior Lecturer in Italian, Director of Centre for Dante Studies in Ireland, University College Cork, Ireland
