By A. J. Morris on April 20, 2009
Format: Hardcover
Norman Housley has been a major figure in Crusading scholarship for decades, and his reputation for thoroughness and evocative writing is well-deserved. This book is perfect for the undergraduate or lay reader looking for a carefully constructed introduction to the mentality of the Crusades. Professor Housley's interest has often focused on the men and women who participated in the Crusades, and here he attempts to shed light on their emotional responses to the ideas and actualities of crusading. This is a vivid, wide-ranging book that personalizes the various experiences of Western Europeans who marched off to Jerusalem. Even for specialists in the field, this book is a refreshing and human look at what is often examined through battle statistics and contemporary political evocations. Really attuned to the "why" of crusading, Housley explores the various reactions to and notions of Crusade over two hundred years, and asks many fascinating questions along the way.
