Images of War, Guilt, and Redemption in the First Crusade Speech of Urban II.

Hazel, Harry, Jr.

Communication Quarterly, v26 n2 p24-30 Spr 1978

This article attributes the impact of Urban II's call to arms to the events and issues of the times, as well as to Urban's unique shaping of a new image of redemption for an audience saddled by guilt. The address also appears to fit a discernible pattern of war rhetoric. (JMF)
