- Description
- Hirsh summarizes how religious concepts, contexts, and developments in the politico-religious situation in Ricardian and Lancastrian England bear on our understanding of CT. Discusses the Great Schism, pilgrimage, mysticism, and the shared themes of travel, suffering, and reward in MLT, ClT, PrT, and SNT. Although changed since the time of Augustine, the notion of the common good informs the description of pilgrimage in ParsP.
