The practice of walking to a sacred space for personal and
spiritual transformation has long held a place in the British
imagination. Art and the Sacred Journey in Britain examines the
intersections of the concept of pilgrimage and the visual
imagination from the years 1790 to 1850. Through a close analysis
of a range of interrelated written and visual sources, Kathryn
Barush develops the notion of the transfer of 'spirit' from sacred
space to representation, and contends that pilgrimage, both in
practice and as a form of mental contemplation, helped to shape the
religious, literary, and artistic imagination of the period and
beyond. Drawing on a rich range of material including paintings and
drawings, manuscripts, letters, reliquaries, and architecture, the
book offers an important contribution to scholarship in the fields
of religious studies, anthropology, art history, and literature.
