A fascinating study of the wanderer in the fourteenth century, this work examines the character and quality of nomadic existence at the time. The author examines “lay wayfarers”—traveling herbalists, jugglers, peddlers—and “religious wayfarers”—preachers, friars, pardoners, and pilgrims, and includes a discussion of English roads of the era.
