Book Description

A clear, intelligently-written guide to a crucial period of Spanish historyWritten in the same tradition as John Julius Norwich’s engrossing accounts of Venice and Byzantium, Richard Fletcher’s Moorish Spain entertains even as it enlightens. He tells the story of a vital period in Spanish history which transformed the culture and society, not only of Spain, but of the rest of Europe as well. Moorish influence transformed the architecture, art, literature and leaing and Fletcher combines this analysis with a crisp account of the wars, politics and sociological changes of the time.
