The Life and Passion of William of Norwich (Penguin Classics)

A new translation of a fascinating chronicle from 12th-century England

A work that holds a unique and terrible place in the history of anti-Semitism,Â The Life and Passion of William of NorwichÂ gives a remarkable insight into daily life in a medieval cathedral city, while also documenting miracles at the shrine of William, a boy worshippers believed to be murdered by the Jews of Norwich. This was the earliest version of the â€œblood libel,â€ a horrible myth of ritual murder which has haunted Europe ever since.
