The Jews were expelled from England in 1290, but this did not mean the end of literary representation.
In this episode, we delve into the antisemitic tropes in 14th-century literature, focusing on Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, John Gower’s Confessio Amantis and the musical legacy of anonymous ballads such as Sir Hugh, or The Jew’s Daughter.
