| Abstract | Perceptions of the Crusades from the Ninetenth to the Twenty-First Century explores the ways in which the crusades have been used in the last two centuries, including the varying uses of crusading rhetoric and imagery in both the East and West. It considers the scope and impact of crusading memory from the nineteenth and into the twentieth century, engaging with nineteenth-century British lending libraries; literary uses of crusading tales; wartime postcard propaganda; memories of Saladin and crusades in the Near East; and the works of modern crusade historians. It is essential reading for modern historians, military historians and historians of memory"-- Provided by publisher. |
