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.
