- Description
- Because of oral anti-Jewish tales of blood libel, PrT, in attitude and some details, was for Chaucer's audience a familiar account. PrT and the ballad "The Jew's Daughter" (first recorded in the eighteenth century) indicate how literary and oral accounts interacted to produce medieval anti-Semitism.
