Reviews

As Katherine Allen Smith convincingly demonstrates in this thorough and fascinating book, we stand to learn a significant amount about the authors of crusade texts, their audiences, and what it meant to write crusade narrative, if we take the time to tap into this rich seam. This book should be required reading for any student or scholar of the medieval historiography of crusading, or of medieval Latin Christian historiography in general.
*SPECULUM*

[A] highly interesting work that should be essential reading for anyone who teaches or studies the crusades.
*JOURNAL OF MEDIEVAL RELIGIOUS CULTURES*

[This] rich study opens the door to further investigations of the relationships between different literary genres and between exegesis, theology, and history.
