An Introduction
This work in a series on Medieval and Renaissance literature provides a student-friendly introduction to the Christian world-view which so profoundly influenced the creation of many Old and Middle English texts.
Christianity, Holy Places, and Sensory Experience
Exploring the human senses in the context of pilgrimage and sacred places, this book presents a systematic, chronological analysis that fills significant gaps in existing literature. It offers a historical narrative that highlights patterns of continuity and change, while also emphasizing the often-overlooked dynamics of pilgrim experiences. Through this lens, readers gain a deeper understanding of how sensory experiences shape the journey of pilgrimage across time.
