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.

MoreLong description:
The subjects of medieval romance are the great and permanent concerns of the human mind. A literature is best approached by newcomers, through its major achievements, the author of this book, originally published in 1973, maintains. The book?s discussion centres on the romances of Chaucer and Chrétien de Troyes, and on such texts as Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the Roman de la Rose, and Malory?s Morte d?Arthur. The book?s introductory chapters stress the continuity between medieval and later literature.
Original Review of Medieval Romance:
??this is a sensitive probing of [Romance?s] main aspects and themes?One of the attractive features of the book is its freedom from dogmatism or over-exclusiveness.? D. D. R. Owen, French Studies, Vol 31, Issue 1 (1977).
