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 edited volume offers a fresh and far-reaching survey of the life, career, intellectual networks, output and times of Roger Ascham (1515/16-1568).
MoreLong description:
The life of Roger Ascham (1515/16?1568) coincided with the reigns of four Tudor monarchs, the rise and death of Luther, the Council of Trent and the wholesale division of Christendom. He operated in arenas including Cambridge University, the court, the continent and the capital, and his writings engaged with the most important intellectual concerns of his age, including humanism, educational reform, religion and politics. In this volume historians, literary specialists and classicists have worked together both to re-evaluate more familiar territory in Ascham?s life and work, and to illuminate previously untapped sources. Their essays reveal Ascham as a considerably more significant figure than previous scholarship has suggested. Two appendices provide valuable further biographical and bibliographical material.
Contributors: Andrew Burnett, Cyndia Susan Clegg, J.S. Crown, Sam Kennerley, Ceri Law, Micha Lazarus, John F. McDiarmid, Lucy R. Nicholas, Mike Pincombe, Richard Rex, Cathy Shrank, and Tracey A. Sowerby.
