Artifact Description

Quests, pilgrimages, and journeys can all involve voyages into the unknown. The unknown can be represented as far countries, fabled kingdoms, or interior spaces. Whether these voyages are recorded as travelogues, romances, or mystic visions, the sojourner’s experience provides new awareness and insight into the dynamics of cultural interaction and finding the familiar in the strange. This session offers papers that explore the ways in which travellers and travelling, questers and questing, pilgrims and pilgrimages, or explorers and exploring allow medieval culture to gain insight into the relationship between the self and the other.Carolyn F. Scott
