This is the first full-length study of the place and meaning of
pilgrimage in European Renaissance culture. It makes new material
available and also provides fresh perspectives on canonical writers
such as Rabelais, Montaigne, Margurite de Navarre, Erasmus,
Petrarch, Augustine, and Gregory of Nyssa. Wes Williams undertakes
a bold exploration of various interlinking themes in Renaissance
pilgrimage: the location, representation, and politics of the
sacred, together with the experience of the everyday, the
extraordinary, the religious, and the represented. Williams also
examines the literary formation of the subjective narrative voice
in his texts, and its relationship to the rituals and practices he
reviews. This wide-ranging and timely new work aims both to gain a
sense of the shapes of pilgrim experience in the Renaissance and to
question the ways in which recent theoretical and historical
research in the area has determined the differences between
fictional worlds and the real.
