Produktbeschreibung

Originally published in 1889 and as a fourth edition in 1950, this book is a study of travel in fourteenth century England. It brings to life those contemporaries of Chaucer who passed up and down the highways for business or pleasure, whether they were minstrels, messengers, merchants, wandering preachers, friars or pilgrims. The book builds a picture not just of travel in Medieval England, but how those on such nomadic journeys felt and thought.
