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 book offers an interdisciplinary approach to the revaluation of the enduring themes and key women characters from Arthurian tradition in Dante Gabriel Rossetti's artistic corpus, emphasizing how his vision was not merely illustrative or plainly derivative of pre-existing textual sources.
MoreLong description:
This scholarly but accessible volume traces the impact of the enduring themes and key women characters from Arthurian tradition in Dante Gabriel Rossetti's artistic corpus. Combining literary and visual analysis, the author opens a double perspective upon the past to emphasize that the painter-poet's renditions on the legend of Camelot should not be read only as merely illustrative of pre-existing textual sources. Quite on the contrary, his personal take stands out as an eclectic exercise of revaluation providing additional insight into his professional preoccupations and view of the self.
Unfolding in three sections, the book first focuses on the tragic love triangles in Malory's Le Morte Darthur, and so on Rossetti's portrayal of Guinevere and La Belle Yseult. Next, it considers the value of female mediating presences and inter-gender unity in the Grail Quest. The third set of chapters addresses Rossetti's view of chivalric paternalism and romantic rescue. For reasons of complementation and contrast, this last section also includes an analysis of the painter-poet's contribution to the stained glass series on the legend of Saint George and the dragon.
Table of Contents:
