Title:
The Jew, the Host and the Virgin Martyr: Fantasies of the Sentient Body [The author takes a late thirteenth century account of host desecration in Paris and explicates it with reference to Middle English virgin martyr stories. Evans argues that cultural meanings of anti-semitism and the body inform these narratives and define the values that matter. Title note supplied by Feminae.].
