Bale, Anthony: The Jew in the Medieval Book

Bale examines how anti-semitic images developed and came to endure far beyond the Middle Ages.

Anthony Bale's research interests are in histories and theories of 'antisemitism', late medieval English literature, culture and popular religion, the poetry of John Lydgate, visual and intermedial artefacts, the history of the pre-expulsion medieval English Jewish community, late medieval travel literature, and the histories of blood libel and ritual murder.
