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:
Most people, even within the area of English literature, are unaware of how much writing women produced in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This book offer a clear, coherent outline of that writing, and also looks at how it was read and reproduced through succeeding centuries down to the present day.
MoreLong description:
This book contains the first comprehensive account of writing by women from the mid sixteenth century through to 1700. At the same time, it traces the way a representative sample of that writing was published, circulated in manuscript, read, anthologised, reprinted, and discussed from the time it was produced through to the present day. Salzman's study covers an enormous range of women from all areas of early modern society, and it covers examples of the many and varied genres produced by these women, from plays to prophecies, diaries to poems, autobiographies to philosophy. As well as introducing readers to the wealth of material produced by women in the early modern period, this book examines changing responses to what was written, tracing a history of reception and transmission that amounts to a cultural history of changing taste.
The reading Salzman has undertaken for this project is very comprehensive: he helpfully corrects the mistakes in the literature, a process that happens rather too rarely in critical works.
