- Title
Satirizing the Blood Libel: Ritual Cannibalism, Infant Sacrifice, and Bloodied Knives in "A Modest Proposal".
- Authors
Perry, Lori A. Davis
- Abstract
The article discusses fears of cultural, religious, and racial conflations between Anglo Christians and Jews into a potential reality, as traditional accusations against mythologized Jews become realized as proposed economic policy. Topics discussed include critical attention to anti-Semitism in British literature, and absence of a large Jewish population had little effect upon British ideas about Jews.
