Section Information for Spring 2019

This class is designed as a discussion and will focus on the canonical First Four Crusades with emphasis on the interaction between the Christian East, the Muslim World and the Christian West. We will examine primary sources (in translation) and secondary sources that render the most recent ideologies and scholarship on the crusading movement. We will study themes of cultural transmission, warfare and colonization between competing societies from Western Europe, Byzantium and the Middle East. Students are required to make two oral presentations, and write two short essays and a final paper. Aside from the assigned books there will be additional required readings from the Internet.
