Women Pilgrims in Late Medieval England Private Piety As Public Performance

This thought-provoking book explores medieval perceptions of pilgrimage, gender and space. It examines real life evidence for the widespread presence of women pilgrims, as well as secular and literary texts concerning pilgrimage and women pilgrims represented in the visual arts. Women pilgrims were inextricably linked with sexuality and their presence on the pilgrimage trails was viewed as tainting sacred space.Morrison, Susan Signe is the author of 'Women Pilgrims in Late Medieval England Private Piety As Public Performance', published 2000 under ISBN 9780415221801 and ISBN 0415221803.
