Riley-Smith, Professor Jonathan (University of Cambridge, UK)
This fully updated and expanded edition of The Crusades: A History provides an authoritative exploration of one of the most significant topics in medieval and religious history. From the First Crusade right up to the present day, Jonathan Riley-Smith and Susanna A. Throop investigate the organisation of a crusade, the experience of crusading and the crusaders themselves.
Now in its 4th edition, this landmark text includes:
- A brand new chapter on the Crusades in contemporary popular culture
- More material on women and gender, the rise of Islam, Northern Europe before the Baltic Crusades, the impact of the Mongols and the rise of the Ottomans
- A fuller discussion of the global 'afterlives' of crusading circa 1700-2016
- Textboxes looking at key historiographical debates, chapter-by-chapter timelines, chapter abstracts and a fully up-to-date bibliographic essay
- Additional maps and digital versions of visual, material and musical primary sources that are explicitly referenced in the book
