| Summary |
"This casebook is the most extensive collection of documents ever assembled for the study of one of the famous battles in history. Together with other experts, the editors have gathered, edited, and translated over 80 fourteenth-century sources concerning this fascinating and important conflict -- written across Europe, from Bohemia to France, from Italy to Wales -- many here printed or translated for the first time. Original essays provide historical contest and literary background to help interpret the battle in light of this new material. Here we see the Battle of Crécy across the cultural landscape of Europe, through chronicles and letters, through poems and prophecies, enabling us to understand what happened on 26 August 1346 like never before."--Back cover |
