The twelve complete articles in this volume represent some of the
best recent scholarship on the crusades. The collection introduces
students to fundamental concepts of crusading, including the nature
of the movement, the motivation of the participants, and the impact
on the East. The focus is not on individual crusades but on the
political, economic, spiritual, and demographic factors behind
these medieval holy wars and on their consequences.
A strong editorial structure guides students through the
competing perspectives that have dominated scholarly discussion. An
opening introduction summarizes relevant historical events and
provides an overview of the historiography. Each article is then
contextualized by the editor with a discussion of its significance
to scholarship.
