4. The Crusades by
Christopher.Jonathan Simon Christopher, 1938 , Riley-Smith traces the legacy of
the Crusades into modern times, specifically within the attitudes of European
imperialists and colonialists and within the beliefs of twentieth-century
Muslims. Europeans fashioned an interpretation of the Crusades from the
writings of Walter Scott and a French contemporary, Joseph-Francois Michaud.
Scott portrayed Islamic societies as forward thinking, while casting Christian
crusaders as culturally backward and often morally corrupt. Michaud, in
contrast, glorified crusading, and his followers used its imagery to illuminate
imperial adventures. These depictions have had a profound influence on
contemporary Western opinion, as well as on Muslim attitudes toward their past
and present. Whether regarded as a valid expression of Christianity's divine
enterprise or condemned as a weapon of empire, crusading has been a powerful
rhetorical tool for centuries. In order to
understand the preoccupations of Islamist jihadis and the character of Western
discourse on the Middle East. Riley-Smith argues that we must understand how
images of crusading were formed in the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries."--BOOK JACKET. Distributed by Syndetic Solutions, Inc.

Summary
"The crusades were penitential war pilgrimages fought in the Levant and the
eastern Mediterranean, as well as in North Africa, Spain, Portugal, Poland, the
Baltic region. Hungary, the Balkans, and Western Europe. Beginning in the
eleventh century and ending as late as the eighteenth, these holy wars were
waged against Muslims and other enemies of the Church, enlisting generations of
laymen and laywomen to fight for the sake of Christendom." "Crusading With this
book, Jonathan Riley-Smith returns to the actual story of the Crusades,
explaining why and where they were fought and how deeply their narratives and
symbolism became embedded in popular Catholic thought and devotional life."
"From this history, Riley-Smith traces the legacy of the Crusades into modern
times, specifically within the attitudes of European imperialists and
colonialists and within the beliefs of twentieth-century Muslims. Europeans
fashioned an interpretation of the Crusades from the
writings of Walter Scott and a French contemporary, Joseph-Francois Michaud.
