Bøger af Adrienne Williams Boyarin

First book-length study of hagiographical legends of the Virgin Mary in medieval England, with particular reference to her relationship with Jews, books, and the law.

In The Christian Jew and the Unmarked Jewess, Adrienne Williams Boyarin explores medieval fantasies of Jewish-Christian indistinguishability. Identifying what she calls "polemics of sameness," an essential part of anti-Jewish materials, she shows how the fine line between "saming" and "othering" reveals stereotypes of the unmarked Jewess.
