Recenzii
The titular promise of a history of the Tunis Crusade is delivered; as a step in the direction of a Mediterranean history, incorporating the interactions of all its inhabitants regardless of the languages of their sources, Lower's The Tunis Crusade of 1270is a resounding success.
The author of this study has endeavored with excellent results to accomplish these feats. We should all commend Michael Lower for this stimulating and lively mediterranean history.
... this is an excellent work. It is well-written, witty, erudite, and very readable... The Tunis Crusade of 1270 should be required reading for any serious scholar of the medieval Mediterranean, not only for the narrative that it lays out, but as an example of thorough scholarship anchored securely in textual evidence drawn from a wide range of perspectives
[This] bold, well-reasoned text serves as a useful reminder for historians to consider an event not only in terms of the ramifications for its immediate participants but also in terms of the ripple effects it causes for other regions and societies. Lower ... does an excellent job of examining the historiography and differing theories for why Louis halted his Crusade at Tunis rather than continuing on to Egypt or the Levant ... insightful, engaging, and a wonderful example of new approaches to Crusades history.
