Medieval Travel Literature: "Texts and Contexts"

Friday, November 22, 2002
2:30-3:30 p.m.
Ballantine Hall 135

Mr. Westhoff, an ABD student in French literature, will discuss two types of travel texts: pilgrimage narratives and missionary accounts of the Far East. His aim is to give more insight into the nature of the most popular travel work of the Middle Ages, the Livre de Jean de Mandeville. The presentation will be followed by discussion and refreshments.
