 Later Medieval Literature (c.1230-1500)
Although the old types of courtly literature continued to be written, the audience for them changed completely.
They mistrusted the idealism of the courtly literature of the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries and probably did not understand the unofficial code of virtues it celebrated.

Pilgrims are so frequently encountered in the pages of Middle English literature that it is easy to take their presence, and their significance, for granted.
In answering these questions, this wide-ranging survey of the origins and development of the pilgrim motif examines the development of Christian pilgrimage through the Bible, the writings of the Fathers, the influences of classical pagan religion and the impulses of popular devotion.
It then traces the ways in which the resulting multiple meanings of pilgrimage were incorporated into medieval spirituality and literature, offering fresh perspectives on Old English poetry and prose together with Middle English texts such a the Canterbury Tales, Piers Plowman, Pearl and the Book of Margery Kempe.
