Free Download Crusading in Frankish Greece, Chrissis: A Study of Byzantine-Western Relations and Attitudes, 1204-1282 By Nikolaos G Chrissis
2013 | 338 Pages | ISBN: 2503534236 | PDF | 3 MB
After becoming a major aspect of the contact between East and West during the twelfth century, the Crusades were even more widely deployed in the thirteenth century at the frontiers of Latin Christendom (in the Holy Land, the Iberian peninsula, and the Baltic), as well as within western Europe. Another such front was opened up after the conquest of Constantinople by the army of the Fourth Crusade in 1204, where the opponents were the Christian but 'schismatic' Greeks. A series of crusades were proclaimed for the defence of the Frankish states which were set up in the formerly Byzantine territories. This development defined the policy of the papacy, of the Latin powers, and of the Greek states in the area, and had a profound impact on Greco-Latin relations in the thirteenth century. At the same time, it constituted an important stage in the expansion of crusading at large, and was an integral part of the process of Latin Christendom's self-definition against the various 'others' it came in contact with: Muslims, pagans, as well as Eastern Christians. Yet, despite their importance, these expeditions have not been systematically examined before.This book addresses this omission. Drawing from both Byzantine and crusade historiography and making use of a wealth of unexploited sources, it investigates the evolution of crusading in Frankish Greece and places it in the context of Byzantine-western interaction, of political circumstances across Europe, and of developments in the theory and practice of Holy War.

Free Download Crusading and Pilgrimage in the Norman World By Kathryn Hurlock; Paul Oldfield
2015 | 248 Pages | ISBN: 178327025X | PDF | 4 MB
The reputation of the Normans is rooted in warfare, faith and mobility. They were simultaneously famed as warriors, noted for their religious devotion, and celebrated as fearless travellers. In the Middle Ages few activities offered a better conduit to combine warfare, religiosity, and movement than crusading and pilgrimage. However, while scholarship is abundant on many facets of the Norman world, it is a surprise that the Norman relationship with crusading and pilgrimage, so central in many ways to Norman identity, has hitherto not received extensive treatment. The collection here seeks to fill this gap. It aims to identify what was unique or different about the Normans and their relationship with crusading and pilgrimage, as well as how and why crusade and pilgrimage were important to the Normans. Particular focus is given to Norman participation in the First Crusade, to Norman interaction in later crusading initiatives, to the significance of pilgrimage in diverse parts of the Norman world, and finally to the ways in which crusading and pilgrimage were recorded in Norman narrative. Ultimately, this volume aims to assess, in some cases to confirm, and in others to revise the established paradigm of the Normans as crusaders par excellence and as opportunists who used religion to serve other agendas. Dr Kathryn Hurlock is Senior Lecturer in Medieval History at Manchester Metropolitan University; Dr Paul Oldfield is Lecturer in Medieval History at the University of Manchester. Contributors: Andrew Abram, William M. Aird, Emily Albu, Joanna Drell, Leonie Hicks, Natasha Hodgson, Kathryn Hurlock, Alan V. Murray, Paul Oldfield, David S. Spear, Lucas Villegas-Aristizabal.

Free Download Crusading Europe: Essays in Honour of Christopher Tyerman By Gregory Lippiatt
2019 | 344 Pages | ISBN: 2503579965 | PDF | 3 MB
Christopher Tyerman was born in 1953 and educated at Harrow and New College, Oxford. He took a First Class degree from the latter in 1974, before completing his D.Phil. under the supervision of Lionel Butler in 1981. The same year, he was awarded the Alexander Prize by the Royal Historical Society for his article on Marino Sanudo the Elder and the promotion of crusading in the fourteenth century. While working on his doctorate, he served as a lecturer at the University of York and a Junior Research Fellow at the Queen's College, Oxford. Following his fellowship at Queen's, he was awarded the Murray Senior Fellowship at Exeter College, and his catholic service to the University encompassed teaching at New, St Hilda's, and Hertford. At the same time, he returned to Harrow, becoming Senior Tutor in History and writing the comprehensive A History of Harrow School (2000). He was elected a fellow of Hertford College in 2006 and appointed Professor of the History of the Crusades in 2015. He has written extensively on the crusades with particular emphasis on their place in the wider context of medieval history, including The Crusades: A Very Short Introduction (2005), The Debate on the Crusades (2011), How to Plan a Crusade (2015), and the magisterial and much-translated God's War (2006). The image of the crusades often connotes exoticism and foreign adventuring.?However, the underlying motivations, daily practicalities, and lasting impact of the crusades on their European birthplace are equally important. How did European anxieties, prejudices, and priorities propel the crusading movement? How did crusaders understand and manage the particularly European geographical, legal, and financial dimensions of their campaigns? How did the crusades mark medieval European architecture, spirituality, and literature? This volume not only engages these provocative questions but also serves as a monument to the career of Christopher Tyerman, who has done so much to integrate European and global crusading history. The collection of essays gathered here by leading crusade historians, Tyerman's friends and former students, furthers study of the crusades within their European context, highlighting intriguing new directions for teaching and researching the crusades and their impact.

Free Download Crusade Preaching and the Ideal Crusader By Miikka Tamminen
2018 | 400 Pages | ISBN: 2503577253 | PDF | 3 MB
Crusade preachers had a number of responsibilities during the Middle Ages. Preachers were responsible for communicating crusading messages to Christian subjects. They recruited crusaders and sought supporters for the movement. They collected crusading funds and participated in campaigns. During the journeys, the preachers played a central role in creating the identity of the crusading armies, in sustaining the morale of the crusaders, and in explaining the goals of an expedition to the participants. This book explores the creation of the ideal crusader in thirteenth-century society. It presents, for the first time, a study of the crusade model sermons of the thirteenth century as a corpus in its entirety. How were the crusades promoted? How was crusading ideology disseminated throughout Christendom by experienced crusade preachers? What were the characteristics of the ideal crusader? The book considers various dimensions of crusade ideology and the values associated with crusading in thirteenth-century society - the qualities that were appreciated and valued by contemporaries, and the traits that were considered disadvantageous in a crusading context. The expectations, the aspirations, and the concerns of crusade preachers with regard to the conduct and the quality of the crusaders are also explored.

Free Download Crossing between Tradition and Modernity: Essays in Commemoriation of Milena Doležalová-Velingerová (1932-2012) By Kirk A. Denton
2017 | 318 Pages | ISBN: 8024635135 | PDF | 6 MB
Crossing Between Tradition and Modernity presents thirteen essays written in honor of Milena Doleželová-Velingerová (1932-2012), a member of the Prague School of Sinology and an important scholar of Chinese literature who was at the forefront in introducing literary theory into sinology. Doleželová-Velingerová was that rare scholar who wrote with equal knowledge and skill about both modern and premodern Chinese literature. The essays emulate Doleželová-Velingerová's scholarship in terms of treating a broad range of historical periods, literary genres, and topics-from Tang travel essays to cultural identity in postcolonial Hong Kong. Organized into two parts, "Language, Structure, and Genre," and "Identities and Self-Representations," the essays are motivated by an abiding concern with issues of language, narrative structure, and the complex nature of literary meaning that were at the heart of Doleželová-Velingerová's work.

Free Download Stuart Klawans, "Crooked, but Never Common: The Films of Preston Sturges"
English | ISBN: 0231207298 | 2023 | 376 pages | PDF | 13 MB
In a burst of creativity unmatched in Hollywood history, Preston Sturges directed a string of all-time classic comedies from 1939 through 1948―The Great McGinty, The Lady Eve, Sullivan's Travels, The Palm Beach Story, and The Miracle of Morgan's Creek among them―all from screenplays he alone had written. Cynical and sophisticated, romantic and sexually frank, crazily breakneck and endlessly witty, his movies continue to influence filmmakers and remain popular to this day. Yet despite this acclaim, Sturges's achievements remain underappreciated: he is too often categorized as a dialogue writer and Description engineer more than a director, or belittled as an irresponsible spinner of laughs.

The profound economic crisis of 1931-33 undermined the process of industrialisation and the stability of the regime. In spite of feverish efforts to achieve the over ambitious first five-year plan, the great industrial projects lagged far behind schedule. These were years of inflation, economic disorder and of terrible famine in 1933.
