Early Modern English Pilgrims, Pilgrimages, and Pilgrimage Narratives
Renaissance Society of America, 25-27 March 2004, New York
Despite the conception of pilgrimage as idolatrous, early modern English
Protestants continued to make the journey to the Holy Land and back
throughout the sixteenth century and beyond. Printed pilgrimage
narratives became scarce, but these too began to reappear in Hakluyt’s
Principal Navigations and most prominently with Henry Timberlake’s A
True and Strange Discourse of the Travailes of Two English Pilgrims
(1603).
This session seeks papers that engage with the early modern English
experience of pilgrimage and the writing and publication of pilgrimage
narratives.
Possible topics might include:
English Catholic pilgrims
The anti pilgrimage
Metaphorical and/or allegorical pilgrimages
Representations of pilgrims and pilgrimages
Pilgrimages to sites other than the Holy Land
Please send abstracts and brief CVs by 22 May to M.G. Aune
