Beschreibung

"Inventing William of Norwich: Thomas of Monmouth, Antisemitism, and Literary Culture, 1150-1200 offers a revisionist reading of the twelfth-century saint's life that contains the earliest account of a Christian child ritually murdered by Jews and is thus a seminal text in the long history of antisemitism.
