The Crusader World is a multidisciplinary survey of the current
state of research in the field of crusader studies, an area of
study which has become increasingly popular in recent years. In
this volume Adrian Boas draws together an impressive range of
academics, including work from renowned scholars as well as a
number of though-provoking pieces from emerging researchers, in
order to provide broad coverage of the major aspects of the period.
This authoritative work will play an important role in the future
direction of crusading studies. This volume enriches present
knowledge of the crusades, addressing such wide-ranging subjects
as: intelligence and espionage, gender issues, religious
celebrations in crusader Jerusalem, political struggles in crusader
Antioch, the archaeological study of battle sites and
fortifications, diseases suffered by the crusaders, crusading in
northern Europe and Spain and the impact of Crusader art. The
relationship between Crusaders and Muslims, two distinct and in
many way opposing cultures, is also examined in depth, including a
discussion of how the Franks perceived their enemies. Arranged into
eight thematic sections, The Crusader World considers many central
issues as well as a large number of less familiar topics of the
crusades, crusader society, history and culture. With over 100
photographs, line drawings and maps, this impressive collection of
essays is a key resource for students and scholars alike.
