Remembering the Crusades and Crusading

More about the book

Remembering the Crusades and Crusading examines the diverse contexts in which crusading was memorialised and commemorated in the medieval world and beyond, from the preaching of the first crusade in 1095 until the fall of the city of Acre in 1291. The book offers a fresh synthesis of the long history of the crusades and includes chapters dealing with the textual, material and visual sources for remembering; particular communities of remembrance, including the family, monastic cultures, Jewish cultures, and royal cultures; and the cultural memory of crusading in the Muslim, Iberian, Byzantine and Baltic regions. This will be essential reading for students of the crusades and memory.
