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:
Between 1330 and 1450, a versatile body of mythographic texts emerged in England: in letters and sermons, commentaries, treatises and poems, a narrative cosmos centred around Ovid’s Metamorphoses came to live again. This was not only due to antiquarian interests. The recourse to ancient myth served the cultural self-assertion of the learned clerical elites, whose expert status was increasingly threatened.
The present study tries to explain this late blossoming of Anglo-Latin mythography and its development against the background of a larger controversy around religious language and clerical knowledge. The books also introduces the most important representatives of the movement, like Robert Holcot and Thomas Walsinghams as well as critics like John Wyclif.
