Produktbeschreibung
Pilgrimage is the most essential of medieval studies - that's a conclusion which Tim Porter has drawn from years of reading, research and exploration. Religion, politics, economics, travel, industry, art, architecture - pilgrimage opens into all these fields, and many more! And it cuts across classes and genders like nothing else, because nobody could be denied the vocation, if it was held to be genuine. Scores of places had some kind of pilgrimage attached to them: but the Gloucestershire/Worcestershire region was especially rich, with a host of saints and shrines reflecting every aspect of the ethos. Hailes and Winchcombe in particular offer in a nutshell so much of what we need to know.
Autorenporträt
Tim Porter trained in music, and had a first career as a composer in touring theatre. But medieval studies were always his other love, and in due course led to a second career as a freelance lecturer and adult education tutor. This involved residential colleges, tour guiding, history societies, and museums including the Corinium and the Ashmolean. For over thirty years, he ran courses for the Workers' Educational Association.
