The Crusades and the Near East (eBook, ePUB)

Cultural Histories
Redaktion: Kostick, Conor

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The crusades are often seen as epitomising a period when hostility between Christian West and the Muslim Near East reached an all time high. This edited volume reveals a more complex story, exploring how the Holy Wars led on the one hand to a reinforcement of the beliefs and identities of each side, but on the other to a growing level of cultural exchange and interaction.
