Frontmatter -- Contents -- Pilgrim Voices: Authoring Christian Pilgrimage -- The Diplomat, the Trucheman and the Mystagogue: Forms of Belonging in Early Modern Jerusalem -- Pilgrimage into Words and Images: the Miracles of Santa Maria delle Carceri in Renaissance Prato -- The Pilgrimage of Passion in Sidney’s Arcadia -- Narratives of Transformation: Pilgrimage Patterns and Authorial Self-Presentation in Three Pilgrimage Texts -- Bowing Down to Wood and Stone: One Way to be a Pilgrim -- Postcards from the Edge of History: Narrative and the Sacralisation of Mormon Historical Sites -- Index
Summary: Research on pilgrimage has traditionally fallen across a series of academic disciplines - anthropology, archaeology, art history, geography, history and theology. To date, relatively little work has been devoted to the issue of pilgrimage as writing and specifically as a form of travel-writing. The aim of the interdisciplinary essays gathered here is to examine the relations of Christian pilgrimage to the numerous narratives, which it generates and upon which it depends. Authors reveal not only the tensions between oral and written accounts but also the frequent ambiguities of journeys - the possibilities of shifts between secular and sacred forms and accounts of travel. Above all, the papers reveal the self-generating and multiple-authored characteristics of pilgrimage narrative: stories of past pilgrimage experience generate future stories and even future journeys.
