Description
Examines the "artistic and ideological purposes" of the notion of a pilgrimage road in the "imaginary of the Middle Ages," focusing on late medieval England and commenting on the attention (or lack of attention) to the road in CT and the Ellesmere illustrations, particularly where they evince "metaliterary" concerns.
