Abstract

This chapter explores reading and writing on the move, through the transnational medium of pilgrims’ books. It considers literary writing about pilgrimage by the likes of William Langland and Geoffrey Chaucer; a printed indulgence sold to pilgrims the shrine of St Cornelius in St Margaret’s Church at Westminster; and the routes taken, books read, and texts produced by particular medieval pilgrims, including Henry Bolingbroke, later Henry IV of England. The chapter examines the ways in which pilgrimage was a stimulus to writing as well as to reading, and was a process that put the material facets of textual production into a variety of dynamic and often surprising relations with communities of readers and writers.
这一章通过朝圣者的书籍这一跨国媒介来探讨迁徙中的阅读和写作。它考虑了威廉·朗兰(William Langland)和杰弗里·乔叟(Geoffrey Chaucer)等关于朝圣的文学作品;西敏寺圣玛格丽特教堂圣科尼利厄斯神龛出售给朝圣者的印刷赎罪券;以及特定中世纪朝圣者所走的路线、所读的书籍和所写的文本,这些朝圣者包括亨利·博林布鲁克,后来的英格兰亨利四世。这一章考察了朝圣对写作和阅读的刺激方式,这是一个将文本生产的物质方面与读者和作家群体建立各种动态且经常令人惊讶的关系的过程。
