- Description
- Bauer compares examples of anti-Jewish discourse in the "Ludus Coventriae" ("deicide"), PrT ("ritual murder"), and the Croxton Play of the Sacrament ("desecration of the host"). All three texts criminalize, victimize, and dehumanize Jews, demonstrating that anti-Jewish discourse did not depend on the presence of a Jewish minority within Christian society but could be memorialized by stereotypes in literary texts from generation to generation.
