Index
Norman Housely is a Professor of History at the University of Leicester.
`This is a stimulating even brilliant book that deserves careful
reading and will surely influence future interpretations of
fifteenth- and sixteenth-century religious wars. Highly
recommended.'
Thomas Renna, Church History
`Review from other book by this author The author has devoted great
care and a breathtaking range of scholarly reading to making what
he has to say clear and accessible and his publishers have wisely
connived at the growth of what was intended to be a shorter book.
They have also allowed him the apparatus of maps and bibliography
which adds so much to the usefulness of the book ... Thanks to his
book it will be possible for his successors to set sail with
confidence that they will neither fall off the edge of the knowable
world nor encounter any mythical beasts.'
French History
`magisterial study of the late medieval crusades ... Housley's
study will undoubtedly fuel debate and further research into this
much neglected area of history.'
History
`This book enlarges understanding of the crusades at many points,
and it will surely long hold the field as the classic on its
subject.'
Times Higher Education Supplement
`Covering a vast canvas and drawing upon an impressive corpus of
up-to-date scholarship, The Later Crusades never degenerates into a
dry narrative of projects and campaigns... he has produced a fine
book that will remain the standard work, and the basis for further
research, for many years ahead.''
Ecclesiastical History
`Housley, who is clearly steeped in his subject, brings to the work
the necessary tools, precise prose, and nuanced thought. This is an
extremely useful book . . . Those wishing a survey of this subject
cannot do better.'
