Description & Specifications

The Life and Passion of William of Norwich provides a remarkable insight into life in a medieval cathedral city, brilliantly capturing the everyday concerns of ordinary people and focusing on the miraculous cures performed at a shrine.

But this was no ordinary shrine; devout worshippers gathered around the burial site where they believed a boy was buried, a boy murdered by the Jews of Norwich. A chilling, highly significant document, The Life and Passion of William of Norwich is, as far as we know, the earliest version of what became the 'blood libel' that has haunted Europe ever since.

Miri Rubin both masterfully translates the book and, in her introduction, interprets the sequence of events that led to the monk Thomas of Monmouth's harrowing narrative. The consequences of his fantasies have been immeasurable.
