Polyvalente, protéiforme, la figure du pèlerin constitue le vecteur d'une analyse conduite à travers plus de quatre-vingts œuvres de la chanson de geste. Le pèlerin, caution du poète, représentant et modèle du récepteur, se porte garant de la vérité de la matière épique, dont il assure l'impact sur le public. L'importance de son rôle structurel dévoile les enjeux profonds de l'épopée médiévale. « Copyright Electre »

In this original and wide-ranging book, Philip Edwards examines the theme of pilgrimage in the works of a variety of major writers, including Shakespeare, Conrad, T. S. Eliot, Yeats, and Heaney. Edwards considers the original and early uses of the terms 'pilgrim' and 'pilgrimage' in life and literature, and demonstrates the importance, vitality and flexibility of pilgrimage as a literary theme over the centuries. The emphasis is almost wholly on post-reformation writers, analysing the theme of pilgrimage in major works where previously it has not been thought to exist, and marking an important departure from traditional studies of the pilgrim and pilgrimage in literature. With the character of Hamlet central to the discussion, Edwards argues the emergence in Shakespeare of a new tragic vision of pilgrimage, which perhaps had its beginnings in ancient Irish literature. This is a ground-breaking and unusual study, which encompasses centuries under a common, and vital, theme.
