David Hume, the eighteenth century philosopher, famously declared
that 'the crusades engrossed the attention of Europe and have ever
since engaged the curiosity of man kind'. This is the first book
length study of how succeeding generations from the First Crusade
in 1099 to the present day have understood, refashioned, moulded
and manipulated accounts of these medieval wars of religion to suit
changing contemporary circumstances and interests. The crusades
have attracted some of the leading historical writers, scholars and
controversialists from John Foxe (of Book of Martyrs fame), to the
philosophers G.W. Leibniz, Voltaire and David Hume, to historians
such as William Robertson, Edward Gibbon and Leopold Ranke.
Accessibly written, a history of histories and historians, the book
will be of interest to students and researchers of crusading
history from sixth form to postgraduate level and beyond and to
cultural historians of the use of the past and of medievalism. -- .
