- More about Walking in the Middle Ages: Literary forms, cultural styles
The first book-length treatment of medieval walking, the essays in this collection bring into view short-distance, solitary, and group walks from home to church and along highways, pilgrimage walks to local shrines and to the Holy Land, dramatic walking performed on pageants and choreographed in the streets, walking in and at the margins of the city, and liturgical and processional walking. Treating traditions of philosophy, hagiography and miracle narratives, early English drama, art, conduct books, and vernacular poetry and prose (including by Barbour, Langland, Chaucer, Hoccleve, Lydgate, and Kempe), and drawing on a range of critical lenses (including disability studies, posthumanism, and dance studies), this volume opens to scrutiny periodised claims, contributes to understanding the longer history of the modern English ambulatory tradition, and illuminates what makes medieval walking distinctive. -- .
