Notes

Summary: "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. Heather Blurton demonstrates how innovations in literary forms in the twelfth century shaped the articulation of medieval antisemitism, which is as much a product of literary history as of political history"--Provided by publisher
