Eastward bound looks at travel and travellers in the medieval
period. An international range of distinguished contributors offer
discussions on a wide range of themes, from the experiences of
Crusaders on campaign, to the lives of pilgrims and missionaries
and traders in the Middle East. It examines their modes of travel,
equipment and methods of navigation, and considers their
expectations and experiences en route. The contributions also look
at the variety of motives - public and private - behind the
decision to travel eastwards to lands of strange and unfamiliar
peoples. Other essays look at the attitudes of Middle-Eastern
rulers to their visitors. In so doing they provide a valuable
perspective and insight into the behaviour of the Europeans and
non-Europeans alike. There have been few such accessible volumes,
covering such a broad range of material for the reader. The book
will be of use to students and scholars involved in the history,
literature and historical geography of the period.
