Crusades and Memory

Rethinking Past and Present

Herausgeber: Cassidy-Welch, Megan; Lester, Anne

Beschreibung

This book explores memory as a methodological means of understanding the crusades. It engages with theories of communicative memory, social and cultural memory, war commemoration, and historical processes of remembering. Contributions explore the variety of cultural forms used in cultivating crusade memory. Material, visual, liturgical and textual objects are all reflective of crusade culture and the process of crafting its memory, and the analysis of such sources is of particular interest. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Medieval History.
