| Summary | "A Canterbury Pilgrimage" by Joseph Pennell and Elizabeth Robins Pennell is a travel narrative that was written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the authors' journey as they follow a historical route from London to Canterbury, reminiscent of the famous pilgrimage described in Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales." It captures the essence of their experience on a tricycle, exploring the landscape, culture, and history encountered along the way. The narrative is infused with rich descriptions and observations about the places visited and the people encountered, blending historical context with personal reflections. The authors intricately detail their journey, starting in London and meandering through various villages and landscapes, showcasing both the natural beauty and historical significance of Kent. They meet other pilgrims, contemplate the legacy of Chaucer's characters, and engage with the local populace, intertwining humor with the nostalgia of pilgrimage, ultimately culminating in their arrival at the Canterbury Cathedral, the destination revered for its spiritual significance. Through their writing and illustrations, the Pennells create an evocative tribute to both the journey and the tradition of pilgrimage. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
