A Canterbury Pilgrimage / An Italian Pilgrimage : Italian pilgrimage

17 Feb 2016

The 1880s was an exhilarating time for cycling pioneers like Elizabeth and her husband Joseph Pennell. As boneshakers and high-wheelers evolved into tandem tricycles and the safety bike, cycling grew from child's play and extreme sport into a leisurely and, importantly, literary mode of transportation. The illustrated travel memoirs of those Pennells were--and still are--highly entertaining. They helped usher in the new age of leisure touring, while playfully hearkening back to famous literary journeys. In this new edition, Dave Buchanan provides rich cultural contexts surrounding the Pennell's first two adventures. These long out-of-print travel memoirs will delight avid cyclists as well as scholars of travel literature, cycling history, women's writing, Victorian literature, and illustration.
