Journal overview

Editorial board

Crusades is a biannual journal, founded in 2002 and published by Routledge on behalf of The Society for the Study of the Crusades and the Latin East. It is devoted to all aspects of crusading activity from the Middle Ages through the Early Modern era and down to modern memories of the subject. It draws together scholarship on all theatres of crusading from its importance in the Latin West to its impact on lands across the Baltic to Africa and from Iberia to the Near East. The journal is open to contributions on Christian, Muslim and Jewish perspectives of the crusades. Our authors range across social, political and military history, theology, law, literature, art, material culture, numismatics and economic history, as well as the memorialization of the crusades. It particularly welcomes submissions on historical sources – narrative, homiletic, documentary – to be made available in trustworthy editions in both European and oriental languages; interpretative contributions are welcomed too. The Journal aims to further diversity of methodology and perspective, and encourages contributions from Early Career Researchers as well as established scholars.
