Miriamne Ara Krummel - Crafting Jewishness in Medieval England: Legally Absent, Virtually Present
Published: 2011-02-01 | ISBN: 0230618707 | PDF | 264 pages | 18 MB
In Crafting Jewishness in Medieval England, Miriamne Ara Krummel complicates the notion of the English Middle Ages as a monolithic age of Christian faith. Cataloguing and explicating the complex depictions of semitisms to be found in medieval literature and material culture, this volume argues that Jews were always present in medieval England, and it is only because of a misreading of the historical record that medieval England has been considered Judenrein—without Jews.
