The Crusades is an area of expanding student interest and students increasingly see an understanding of the roots of religious violence and of interaction between Christian and Islamic cultures as a critical tool for citizenship in the modern world. Made up of four volumes, this collection covers the following areas: Volume I (Contexts) - The West and the Mediterranean World in the 11th; Volume II - Crusading and the Crusader States 1095-1197; Volume III - Crusading and the Crusader States 1198-1336; and, Volume IV - Crusading Cultures. Bringing together a representative selection of the most important research on crusading, this collection features a group of carefully selected articles which, taken together, develop themes and problematics in crusading history. Edited by a leading scholar in the field and including a new introduction to guide the reader through the material, this new four volume collection will be an important research resource for both student and scholar alike.
