The shocking massacre of the Jews in York, 1190, is here
re-examined in its historical context along with the circumstances
and processes through which Christian and Jewish neighbours became
enemies and victims. The mass suicide and murder of the men, women
and children of the Jewish community in York on 16 March 1190 is
one of the most scarring events in the history of Anglo-Judaism,
and an aspect of England's medieval past which is widely remembered
around the world. However, the York massacre was in fact only one
of a series of attacks on communities of Jews across England in
1189-90; they were violent expressions of wider new constructs of
the nature of Christian and Jewish communities, and the targeted
outcries of local townspeople, whose emerging urban politics were
enmeshed within the swiftly developing structures of royal
government. This new collection considers the massacreas central to
the narrative of English and Jewish history around 1200. Its
chapters broaden the contexts within which the narrative is usually
considered and explore how a narrative of events in 1190 was built
up, both at the timeand in following years. They also focus on two
main strands: the role of narrative in shaping events and their
subsequent perception; and the degree of convivencia between Jews
and Christians and consideration of the circumstances and processes
through which neighbours became enemies and victims. Sarah Rees

Mark W. Curran writes and directs this horror thriller set in an
abandoned clinic in the city. Rachel (Sarah Nicklin) is a security
guard tasked with the seemingly easy task of monitoring the
building. But when disturbances from beyond the grave take hold of
the dingy facility, Rachel must find a way to survive the
machinations of a demon whose victims litter the hallways.

Of all the Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer's Prioress's Tale, in
which a young schoolboy is murdered by Jews for singing a song in
praise of the Virgin Mary, poses a problem to contemporary readers
because of the anti-semitism of the story it tells. Both the Tale's
anti-semitism and its "Chaucerianism"- its fitness or aptness as
part of the Chaucerian canon-are significant topics of reflection
for modern readers, who worry about the Tale's ethical implications
as well as Chaucer's own implications. Over the past fifty years,
scholars have asked whether the anti-semitism in the tale is that
of the Prioress? Or of Chaucer the pilgrim? Or of Chaucer the
author? Or, indeed, whether one ought to discuss anti-semitism in
the Prioress's Tale at all, considering the potential anachronism
of expecting medieval texts to conform to contemporary ideologies.
The Critics and the Prioress responds to a critical stalemate
between the demands of ethics and the entailments of methodology.
The book addresses key moments in criticism of the Prioress's
Tale-particularly those which stage an encounter between
historicism and ethics-in order to interrogate these critical
impasses while suggesting new modes for future encounters. It is an
effort to identify, engage, and reframe some significant-and
perennially repeated-arguments staked out in this criticism, such
as the roles of gender, aesthetics, source studies, and the
appropriate relationship between ethics and historicism. The
Critics and the Prioress will be an essential resource for Chaucer
scholars researching as well as teaching the Prioress's Tale.
Scholars and students of Middle English literature and medieval
culture more generally will also be interested in this book's
rigorous analysis of contemporary scholarly approaches to
expressions of anti-semitism in Chaucer's England.
