    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Compares several late-medieval boy-murder narratives to assess attitudes toward Jews before and after their 1290 expulsion from England.

Importantly, the tale makes a &quot;remarkable contribution&quot; to the &quot;racialization of England,&quot; representing genealogical, spatial, and pedagogical aspects of defining Christians by contrast with Jews.]]></dcterms:description>
