- Description
On Foot to Canterbury could best be described as a travelogue that recounts both a literal walk but also a walk through literary history as it follows Haigh’s personal journey to Canterbury Cathedral. Among the literary references, there is plenty of discussion of religion, especially around the concept of pilgrimages and spiritual understandings. Prior knowledge of the literary figures mentioned would be helpful for readers to fully engage with the text, but it is not a requirement. Given the work centres on a journey, this book would be best used as a whole, perhaps, as a novel study for older readers—especially budding writers—with strong prior knowledge of the referenced authors.
