This innovative reassessment of ritual murder accusations brings
together scholars working in history, folklore, ethnography, and
literature. Favoring dynamic explanations of the mechanisms,
evolution, popular appeal, and responses to the blood libel, the
essays rigorously engage with the larger social and cultural worlds
that made these phenomena possible. In doing so, the book helps to
explain why blood libel accusations continued to spread in Europe
even after modernization seemingly made them obsolete. Drawing on
untapped and unconventional historical sources, the collection
explores a range of intriguing topics: popular belief and
scientific knowledge; the connections between antisemitism,
prejudice, and violence; the rule of law versus the power of
rumors; the politics of memory; and humanitarian intervention on a
global scale.
