This intensely tight-knit collection will find a place on any crusade historian's shelf. It's tremendously wide-ranging and will immediately become the jumping off point for all sorts of future research, not just on crusading but on any aspect of the later Middle Ages. Remembering the holy war was just as important to the movement of history as the holy war itself. - Matthew Gabriele, Virginia Tech, USA Remembering the Crusades and Crusading demonstrates to both students and scholars how the application of theories about materiality and cultural memory to medieval sources has illuminated our understanding of how and why the Crusades were remembered in the Middle Ages and beyond. At a time when the Crusades have re-entered our public discourse, this book could not be timelier. -Kimberly Rivers, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, USA. Overall, this book has much to its credit... there are several chapters which should serve as the ideal starting point for anyone looking to explore issues of crusading memory, and which provide important correctives and addendums to traditional ideas or avenues of scholarship. Given the impressive bibliographical data also available for each chapter, this should be a must for scholars of crusading memory, as well as university libraries and teachers of the crusades. - Andrew Buck, Queen Mary University of London, Medievally Speaking
