    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:

    Aemilia Bassano Lanyer sought public fame as a poet in 1611, at the height of the largely misogynistic reign of James I. This book situates her life and work among those major poets of Elizabethan and Jacobean England with whom she may have had some contact, such as Spenser, Shakespeare, Jonson, and Donne, and who represent the context for her own unique voice.

    Long description:

    Aemilia Bassano Lanyer sought public fame as a poet in 1611, at the height of the largely misogynistic reign of James I.

    Specialists in Lanyer should not be the only ones to greet Woods's latest book with enthusiasm, however. Students and teachers who have struggled to see recently recovered authors such as Lanyer in the context of a traditional canon will find this a most helpful resource. Likewise, those whose interest in literature by women has led them back in time to periods with which they are not entirely familiar will find this an excellent study, as it combines meticulous scholarship and close reading to situate Lanyer thematically and stylistically in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.
