This collection of essays by eight leading scholars is a landmark
event in the study of crusading in the late middle ages. It is the
outcome of an international network funded by the Leverhulme Trust
whose members examined the persistence of crusading activity in the
fifteenth century from three viewpoints, goals, agencies and
resonances. The crusading fronts considered include the conflict with
the Ottoman Turks in the Mediterranean and western Balkans, the
Teutonic Order’s activities in the Baltic region, and the Hussite
crusades. The authors review criticism of crusading propaganda on
behalf of the crusade, the influence on crusading of demands for
Church reform, the impact of printing, expanding knowledge of the
world beyond the Christian lands, and new sensibilities about the
sufferings of non-combatants.
