ENGAGING THE CRUSADES, VOLUME ONE

11/6/2018

The first volume in the series Engaging the Crusades is out as of June 2018.

Titled Perceptions of the Crusades from the Nineteenth to the Twenty-First Century, it kicks off the series with five chapters on aspects of the memory and legacy of the crusades and sets the foundation for many of the directions that the series hopes to engage with in the future, including reception history, literary perceptions, crusading propaganda, non-Western use of the crusades and crusade historiography.
