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:
A detailed study of the late Anglo-Saxon stone sculpture of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire. Uses full descriptions of all known carvings as a platform for analysis of ecclesiastical and cultural location of stone-sculpture within late Anglo-Saxon and early Norman society.
MoreLong description:
Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Sculpture, XIV, Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire surveys the counties of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire with a substantial catalogue of all known pre-Conquest stone sculpture, illustrated by high-quality photographs, maps, and interpretive drawings. A series of introductory chapters explore such topics as the history of previous scholarship, the geological and historical background, plus a detailed analysis of the new information afforded by these major survivals of Anglo-Saxon art and archaeology.
Stocker and Everson conclude that the great majority of stone sculpture from these two counties belongs to the final century of Anglo-Saxon England, during which period they were rapidly expanding ecclesiastical societies, and deeply influenced by the great monasteries of Peterborough and Ely. The quantity of eleventh-century material permits an analysis of the impact of the Norman conquest on aspects of social, ecclesiastical, and cultural life, which is a running theme through the narrative.
