Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Sense ressenyes
 The remarkable volume edited by Michael Livingston and Kelly DeVries, which they call a Casebook, is unlike any previous study of the battle of Crécy. Rather than a straightforward narrative or analysis of the campaign and battle in 1346, the core of this book is a collection of sources from the fourteenth century that provide information about the movement of the French and English armies, and their final confrontation at Crécy. This Casebook will surely reinvigorate the field and encourage people to look at Crécy in a new light. Although this cannot be the final word on the subject, it equips us to get closer to understanding the conduct and, indeed, the meaning of battles and war in a period of persistent conflict.
Winner of the Society for Military History Distinguished Book Award 2017 This casebook is the most extensive collection of documents ever assembled for the study of one of the famous battles in history. Here we see the Battle of Crécy across the cultural landscape of Europe -- through chronicles and letters, through poems and prophecies, through sermons and laments -- enabling us to understand the events of 26 August 1346 like never before. Together with other experts, the editors have gathered, edited, and translated over 80 fourteenth-century sources concerning this fascinating and important conflict -- sources from Bohemia to France, from Italy to Wales -- many here printed or translated for the first time. Original essays provide historical context and literary background to help interpret the battle in light of this new material. Among the discoveries: despite its fame, the location of the battle has been misidentified for centuries, and the actions of the men on both sides of the bloodied field have been completely misunderstood. This unparalleled accumulation of material means that the Battle of Crécy will never be seen in the same way again. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
