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:
This richly informed book brings together essays by a leading scholar-critic on both major and less celebrated writers, from Sidney, Shakespeare, and Drummond (a new piece) to the late Restoration, to reconfigure the familiar and help extend the canon. Always alert to the debates that have raged in literary studies, it highlights the distinctive qualities of poetry and drama.
MoreLong description:
John Kerrigan is one of the foremost critics of English literature. This richly informed collection brings together his essays on such major figures as Sir Philip Sidney and Milton, but also less celebrated writers, including Thomas Carew and - in a new piece - William Drummond, to reconfigure the familiar and help extend the canon. Shakespeare looms large; his plays and poems, and his influence on Keats, are the subject of half the book. But themes and issues are pursued from the 1580s to the late Restoration. Kerrigan acutely reassesses the nature of early modern texts-their production and reconstruction by writers, printers, theatre companies, and readers-and their relationship with socio-political circumstance.
This original and eloquent book shows what criticism can do when closely engaged with verbal fabric and form. Always alert to the scholarly and theoretical debates that have raged within literary studies, it concentrates on drawing out the distinctive qualities of poems and plays.
Review from previous edition Though elegantly written, Kerrigan's essays are densely argued and formidably erudite . . . The quality of Kerrigan's work sets a standard for others to aim at.
