Spanning centuries, historian Elizabeth Drayson pulls together the epic interwoven history of the Muslim and Christian worlds.
'[An] authoritative, fascinating account . . . Crucible of Light underlines the complexity of relations, both individual and collective, between the Islamic world and Europe' -The Spectator
Focusing on major turning points, individual stories, and key places, from Mecca to Cordoba, from Damascus to Venice, and from Vienna to Istanbul, Drayson tracks the themes that unite us - classical learning preserved in Islamic libraries, the enduring influence of Moorish architecture and design, the food we share, the goods we have traded, and the continuing dialogue between individuals and cultures that has permeated Europe's history and shaped its borders.
It is a history that sweeps across cities and continents, from Spanish patios and palaces to Ottoman-inspired coffee houses in seventeenth-century London to the Mezquita in Cordoba, once a mosque, now a cathedral, the physical embodiment of the ongoing discourse that continues to shape European identity.
'Absolutely fascinating. At a time when a historical Christian Nationalism and chauvinism are gaining ground, this book arrives as an essential corrective' - Andrew Copson, Chief Executive of Humanists UK and author of Secularism: a Very Short Introduction
'A treasure of a book, exploring the frequently misunderstood, often unsung, yet extraordinarily rich intertwining of Islamic and European culture over nearly one and a half millennia' - Rebecca Wragg Sykes, author of Kindred
