The Destruction of Jerusalem, also called Titus and Vespasian, is a
fifteenth-century fictionalised version of the historical Roman
siege of Jerusalem. Marked by antisemitism, Christian nationalism
and violence, this Middle English poem weaves together sources both
medieval and classical, transforming first-century Romans into
Christian agents of divine vengeance. This new edition expands our
understanding of fall of Jerusalem narratives in later medieval
England, bringing attention to a long-ignored English retelling of
these first-century events that captivated Christian audiences.
Here presented in the most comprehensive edition to date, the poem
will be of particular interest to scholars and students of Middle
English romance, the Crusades, medieval antisemitism and literary
reimaginings of historical events. The edition will be of value
particularly in courses focused on Crusades traditions, traditions
of medieval anti-Semitism, vernacular theology, or late medieval
depictions of difference more broadly. The work complements other
volumes in the METS series such as The King of Tars, Richard Coer
de Lion and Crusades romances such as Three Middle English
Charlemagne Romances.
