Description
|
|
|
|
Named a Book of the Year by London's Times Literary Supplement, this heavily illustrated history explores the vibrant interaction among different and sometimes opposing cultures on the Iberian Peninsula, and how their contacts with one another transformed them. Concentrating on the arts, architecture, poetry, and prose of the 11th and 12th centuries, seen in 200 color photos, the book reveals the extent to which Castilian identity is rooted in the experience of confrontation, interaction, and at times union with Hebrew and Arabic cultures in the centuries following the Christian capture of the Islamic city of Toledo.
