- Description
- Argues that Chaucer’s critique of "curiositas" as "the prevailing failure and motivation of medieval travel" is "successfully negotiated" by several late medieval travel authors. Concentrates on readings from travel accounts by Simon Simeonis and Thomas Brygg, to demonstrate the range of possibilities for pilgrim-narrators.
