But this was no ordinary shrine; fervent worshippers gathered around the burial-place where they believed that a boy was buried, a boy murdered by the Jews of Norwich. \u003cbr\u003eA chilling, highly significant document, The Life and Passion of William of Norwich is, as far as we know, the earliest version of what was to become the 'blood libel' which has haunted Europe ever since. Miri Rubin both superbly translates the book and in her introduction interprets the sequence of events that led to the monk Thomas of Monmouth's appalling narrative. The consequences of his fantasies have been incalculable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003ePublisher information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublisher: Penguin Random House\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eISBN: 9780141197487\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eNumber of pages: 320\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eDimensions: 19.8 × 1.8 × 12.9 cm\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eWeight: 236 g\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eInterest age: \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Starlight Library","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":54218260676921,"sku":"9780141197487","price":25.0,"currency_code":"IQD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/4624\/6457\/files\/The-Life-and-Passion-of-William-of-Norwich.jpg?v=1785092771","url":"https:\/\/starlightlibrary.shop\/products\/the-life-and-passion-of-william-of-norwich-by-thomas-of-monmouth","provider":"Starlight Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
