Viking has landed A Travel Guide to the Middle Ages by Anthony Bale in an exclusive submission. Using authentic sources of medieval travel writing and new translations of contemporary accounts from as far and wide as Turkey, Iceland, Armenia, north Africa and Russia, A Travel Guide to the Middle Ages invites the reader to travel across a medieval world “punctuated with marvels and prodigies, miraculous wonders and long-lost landmarks”. His new study of Margery Kempe will appear from Reaktion Books this year. He said: “I’ve been travelling through the Middle Ages for many years in my research and teaching. I’m really excited to be bringing these voyages and destinations to new readers in A Travel Guide to the Middle Ages.
