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. Perceptions of the Crusades
from the Ninetenth to the Twenty-First Century explores the ways in
which the crusades have been used in the last two centuries,
including the varying deployment of crusading rhetoric and imagery
in both the East and the West. It considers the scope and impact of
crusading memory from the nineteenth and into the twentieth
century, engaging with nineteenth-century British lending
libraries, literary uses of crusading tales, wartime postcard
propaganda, memories of Saladin and crusades in the Near East and
the works of modern crusade historians. Demonstrating the breadth
of material encompassed by this subject and offering methodological
suggestions for continuing its progress, Perceptions of the
Crusades from the Ninetenth to the Twenty-First Century is
essential reading for modern historians, military historians and
historians of memory and medievalism.
