While at IAS, Matthew L. Keegan will research the understudied poetry and prose of the era between the First Crusade and the fall of Baghdad to the Mongols. This literature has often been viewed through the lens of the Crusades, but this era was one of literary experimentation with a range of concerns beyond the counter-Crusade.
