This book investigates the uses of crusader medievalism - the
memory of the crusades and crusading rhetoric and imagery - in
Britain, from Walter Scott's The Talisman (1825) to the end of the
Second World War. It seeks to understand why and when the crusades
and crusading were popular, how they fitted with other cultural
trends of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, how their use was
affected by the turmoil of the First World War and whether they
were differently employed in the interwar years and in the 1939-45
conflict. Building on existing studies and contributing the fruits
of fresh research, it brings together examples of the uses of the
crusades from disparate contexts and integrates them into the story
of the rise and fall crusader medievalism in Britain.
