England during the Middle Ages was at the forefront of European antisemitism. England also enforced legislation demanding that Jews wear a badge of infamy, and in 1290, it became the first European nation to expel forcibly all of its Jewish residents. It was in medieval Norwich that the notorious blood libel was first introduced when a resident accused the city's Jewish leaders of abducting and ritually murdering a local boy.
Drawing on literary, historical, and cartographic texts, she charts an entangled Jewish imaginative presence in English culture.In a sweeping view that extends from the Anglo-Saxon period to the late seventeenth century, Lavezzo tracks how English writers from Bede In The Accommodated Jew, Kathy Lavezzo rethinks the complex and contradictory relation between England's rejection of the Jew and the centrality of Jews to classic English literature.
