Empires of the Saracens in High Medieval Literature

Tuesday 3 May 2022, 5.00PM

Speaker(s): Professor Shirin A. Khanmohamadi (San Francisco State University)

Medieval Literatures Research Seminar 

This talk aims to rethink the role of Muslims in medieval European narratives (including chronicles, epics and travel writing) beyond the default “crusading” frame into which they are usually cast, arguing instead for Europe’s emulation and appropriation of Islamicate imperial prestige in its earliest imperial self-expression.
