Description
Medieval English Travel: A Critical Anthology is a comprehensive volume that consists of three sections: concise introductory essays written by leading specialists; an anthology of important and less well-known texts, grouped by destination; and a selection of supporting bibliographies organized by type of voyage. This anthology presents some texts for the first time in a modern edition. The first section consists of six companion essays on ''Places, Real and Imagined'', ''Maps and the Organization of Space'', ''Encounters'', ''Codes and Languages'', ''Trade and Exchange'', and ''Politics and Diplomacy''.The organizing principle for the anthology is one of expansive geography. Starting with local English narratives, the section moves to France, en-route destinations, the Holy Land, and the Far East. In total, the anthology contains twenty-six texts or extracts, including new editions of Floris & Blancheflour, The Stacions of Rome, The Libelle of Englyshe Polycye, and Chaucers ''Squire''s Tale'', in addition to less familiar texts, such as Osbern Bokenham''s Mappula Angliae, John Kay''s Siege of Rhodes, 1480, and Richard Torkington''s Diaries of Englysshe Travell.The supporting bibliographies, in turn, take a functional approach to travel, and support the texts by elucidating contexts for travel and travellers in five areas: ''commercial voyages'', ''diplomatic and military travel'', ''maps, rutters, and charts'', ''practical needs, languages, and currencies'', and ''religious voyages''.
