About this ebook
This account of Muslim life in late medieval Spain is "a beautifully written account of an enthralling subject" ( The Observer).
From an acclaimed scholar in the field, this is a richly detailed account of Muslim life throughout the kingdoms of Spain from the fall of Seville, which signaled the beginning of the retreat of Islam, to the Christian reconquest. Together with L.P. Harvey's following volume, Muslims in Spain 1500–1614, it provides an in-depth look at the experiences of this population from the late medieval to the early modern period.
"Harvey not only examines the politics of the Nasrids, but also the Islamic communities in the Christian kingdoms of the peninsula. This innovative approach breaks new ground, enables the reader to appreciate the situation of all Spanish Muslims. . . . An absorbing and thoroughly informed narrative." — Times Higher Education Supplement
"[A] clearly written, comprehensive, and illuminating study detailing the final three centuries of the Islamic presence in the Iberian Peninsula." — Library Journal
"Masterly narrative history . . . an outstanding work." — Muslim World Book Review
"Few historians in the English-speaking world could give a coherent account of the political history of Muslim Granada. Harvey does this skillfully." — History Today
