Just to say a big 'thank-you' to everyone who responded to my request
for help re. the blood libel. Hopefully, if the material provides the
sort of examples that I am looking for, I will be examining the
manifestation of cultural fear of the insidious outsider, and what this
says about how society views itself, in terms of the heretic and the Jew,
and perhaps relating this to later, rather similar, manifestations of
these fears.
The work by R.I.Moore, and the references to Free Spirit heretics, I
already am familiar with, but the other references are new to me.
Again, thank you!
Rebecca.
