Reviews

Spencer's study emerges as a bold, innovative, and much-needed addition to the canon of crusade historiography. * Alexandra Garnhart-Bushakra, Comitatus *


This is an important book, which will undoubtedly be a key reference on its subject, and stimulate further research. * Linda M. Paterson, The English Historical Review * This book will undoubtedly be the go-to authority for anyone interested [in] the history of emotions in the context of the crusades, or indeed of the medieval historiography of the crusades in general. ... Additionally, it will be of significant value to scholars and students of the medieval history of emotions writ large.' * Beth C. Spacey, The Medieval Review * Spencer's study emerges as a bold, innovative, and much-needed addition to the canon of crusade historiography. * Alexandra Garnhart-Bushakra, Comitatus *
