Why don't you give exact delivery time?

Long description:
A Companion to Medieval English Literature and Culture, c.1350-c.1500 challenges readers to think beyond a narrowly defined canon and conventional disciplinary boundaries.
* A ground-breaking collection of newly-commissioned essays on medieval literature and culture
* Reflects the erosion of the traditional, rigid boundary between medieval and early modern literature
* Stresses the importance of constructing contexts for reading literature
* Explores the extent to which medieval literature is in dialogue with other cultural products, including the literature of other countries, manuscripts and religion
* Includes close readings of frequently-studied texts, including texts by Chaucer, Langland, the Gawain poet, and Hoccleve
* Confronts some of the controversies that exercise students of medieval literature, such as those connected with literary theory, love, and chivalry and war
"Overall, this book, another one of Peter Brown's Herculean labors, is a true gift to medieval scholarship. A compendium of useful information and bibliographic references, it will be useful to a wide variety of medieval-ists, whether undergraduates, graduates, faculty, or independent scholars, formany years to come." (Modern Philology, 2 November 2011) on"These thorough, engaging essays decertify many canonical certainties ... Highly Recommended." CHOICE "Another grand project that combines breadth and depth ... A highly eminent collection of thirty-eight contributions ranges over a variety of topics." Medium Aevum "There is plenty here for everybody, and all of it written in a way accessible to the general reader as well as to the student, or fellow specialist."--Reference Reviews
