Pilgrimage was a central feature of medieval English life which
affected history, politics, art and literature. The shrines were
destroyed during the Reformation and pilgrimage stopped, yet the
idea of pilgrimage continued - refashioned - in Protestant theology
and in the exploration of the newly discovered world. By reaching
beyond the Reformation to explore the transformation of the idea of
the pilgrim in Protestant spirituality, this book confronts the
religious experience of the English laity over half a millennium.
The attractions for pilgrims of journeys to Jerusalem and to
Canterbury and other English religious shrines are considered,
while the political aspects of pilgrimage are discussed in relation
to the architectural, documentary and pictorial evidence for the
expression of lay piety in late medieval England. The cult of St
Thomas of Canterbury is studied in particular detail, up to the
suppression and in the revival of the cult in the sixteenth
century.
