Abstract: 'Galit Hasan-Rokem and Alan Dundes have collected for the first time in a single volume the most representative interpretations of the legend of the Wandering Jew. Symbolic of the historical relationship between Jews and Christians, the Wandering Jew has inspired innumerable plots in prose, poetry, and drama, and continues to be an inexhaustible source of anti-Semitic stereotypes. The editors and contributors expose the widespread and long-lasting strength of this insidious caricature.'
