Engaging the Crusades is a series of volumes which offer windows
into a newly emerging field of historical study: the memory and
legacy of the crusades. Together these volumes examine the reasons
behind the enduring resonance of the crusades and present the
memory of crusading in the modern period as a productive, exciting,
and much needed area of investigation. Crusading was a part of the
rich tapestry of family history, with tales of crusading developed
as evidence of heroic endeavour to enhance family prestige. Lists
of crusaders were published to satisfy this market and heraldry was
a visible means of displaying such lineage. Drawing on extensive
research and previously untapped sources, this book charts
continuing British interest in the crusades, focusing on the
nineteenth century. The volume discusses what was available to read
on the subject and how this was discussed in numerous journals. Set
in the British context of growing local and regional interest in
history and archaeology, the study also considers the physical
artefacts associated with the crusades. Tales of the Crusaders -
Remembering the Crusades in Britain is the ideal resource for
students and scholars of the history of memory and crusades history
in a British context.
