Cambridge Companion to the Literature of the Crusades
«'The quality and variety of the contributors' scholarship make it an important resource for instructors and students (preferably graduate), both as a critical source and as an incitement to further study.' Thomas H. Crofts, Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Teaching»
How were the Crusades, and the crusaders, narrated, described, and romanticised by the various communities that experienced or remembered them? This Companion provides a critical overview of the diverse and multilingual literary output connected with crusading over the last millennium, from the first writings which sought to understand and report on what was happening, to contemporary medievalism, in which crusading is a potent image of holy war and jihad.
