This is an original investigation of the early uses of the terms 'pilgrim' and 'pilgrimage' in life and literature. Edwards explores the pilgrimage theme in a number of major writers in the long period of declining faith after the Reformation, including Shakespeare, Conrad, Dickinson, T. S. Eliot, Yeats, and Heaney.
