Stanley Edward Lane-Poole (1854 - 1931) was a British orientalist and archaeologist. 'The Moors in Spain' is a comprehensive history about the Moorish conquest and rule of the Iberian Peninsula, until the Spanish took back the land. It includes chapters on the last Visigothic kingdom, El Cid and the fall of Granada.
The Alhambra in Granada, the Mosque in Cordova-these are some of the magnificent physical remnants of Moorish rule in Spain. Their influence on culture, engineering, and civilization has also remained in ways often unacknowledged. Lane-Poole was the first to publish a scholarly history in English about a non-Christian civilization, making this a ground-breaking work. Written with extensive knowledge, wit, and admiration, Lane-Poole's The Moors in Spain is not to be missed.
