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:
What did Coleridge know about medicine and how did it influence the development of his critical thought? Neil Vickers sets out to answer this question in this radical reinterpretation of Coleridge's career between 1795 and 1806. Coleridge and the Doctors changes the way we look at Coleridge's intellectual development and reveals the richness of his involvement in the eighteenth-century tradition of 'philosophical medicine' and its determining influence on his critical and philosophic stance. It supplies a comprehensive account of his activities in eighteenth century 'philosophic medicine' showing how these paved the way for his subsequent conversion to German idealist philosophy. It also offers a startling reconstruction of his application of medical theory to his own case including a revisionary analysis of his dealings with opiates.

The book also contains a revisionary analysis of Coleridge's dealings with opiates and offers a comprehensive account of British early Romantic medicine.
Altogether Vicker's book is an erudite, elegantly written and utterly compelling re-assessment of Coleridge's illnesses, an indispensable contribution to our knowledge of the poet and the period.
