About This Book

The author surveys transportation infrastructure and itinerant life in fourteenth-century England, opening with the maintenance and financing of roads and bridges, the religious obligations and guild roles tied to their upkeep, and the use of tolls, endowments, and chapels to preserve crossings. He then examines the variety of wandering figures—colporteurs, professional pilgrims, pardoners, minstrels, mendicants—and their economic practices, social status, and moral perceptions. The narrative emphasizes how these mobile people transmitted news, beliefs, and cultural forms between isolated communities and how their presence intersected with broader political, religious, and literary developments of the age.
