    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.

    Long description:

    The nineteenth century was Britain's, in the sense that during the
    period she more closely approached the status of world hegemonic power
    than ever before - or since. The workshop of the world and the homeland
    of the mind, Britain was an unchallenged industrial and manufacturing
    power, with undisputed control of the seas and the largest formal empire
    ever seen. She was also a place of refuge for liberal intelligentsia in
    flight from despotic and reactionary regimes elsewhere in the world.


    Looking at the historical evolution of the central political
    institutions, and the social milieu surrounding them, this book helps to
    explain Britain's pre-eminence during the nineteenth century. The
    'political' history of the country from 1815 to 1905 - a substantial
    part of the book - provides the necessary foundation for a social
    history that focuses particularly on issues of demography, religion,
    social class, and gender.
