The course also considers later crusades from the 14th to the 16th centuries, combining primary-source analysis with attention to modern historiography and revisionist interpretations.

In addition to examining primary sources from the period under study, particular attention will be paid to the modern historiography of the crusades. Partially satisfies the CCR requirement of HS and the ACE requirement of W2. Offered in alternate years.\nREQUIRED TEXTS:\nPrimary Source Collections:\nAllen, Sarah Jane, and Emilie Amt, eds.
