- Description
- Surveys the medieval mythographic accounts about Little Hugh (e.g., Matthew Paris, Chaucer's PrT); transformation into popular ballads, nursery rhymes, and Romantic verse (Child, Arnim, Brentano, Heine); and modern appropriations in A. Zweig's "Ritualmord in Ungarn" and Bernard Malamud's "The Fixer." Explains the anti-Semitisim in PrT as originating in unsolved conflicts within medieval Christianity.
