This is the first book length study of how succeeding generations from the First Crusade in 1099 to the present day have understood, refashioned, moulded and manipulated accounts of these medieval wars of religion to suit changing contemporary circumstances and interests. The crusades have attracted some of the leading historical writers, scholars and controversialists from John Foxe (of Book of Martyrs fame), to the philosophers G.W. Leibniz, Voltaire and David Hume, to historians such as William Robertson, Edward Gibbon and Leopold Ranke. Accessibly written, a history of histories and historians, the book will be of interest to students and researchers of crusading history from sixth form to postgraduate level and beyond and to cultural historians of the use of the past and of medievalism.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: HistoryBook Series: Issues in HistoriographyTopic: Military HistoryItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 322gRelease Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
