Synopsis
This book delves into the strange medieval belief that Englishmen possessed tails and how this idea persisted for centuries. Tracing its origins to a 12th-century legend surrounding Saint Augustine's mission to England, the author unearths a rich tapestry of historical accounts, literary references, and international satire that perpetuated this myth. The book explores the social and political contexts that fueled the mockery, examining how it reflected cultural tensions and foreign relations. It also investigates various explanations offered for the supposed existence of these tails, ranging from divine retribution to climate and genetics. By uncovering the multifaceted nature of this peculiar belief, the book offers fascinating insights into the power of rumor, prejudice, and the complexities of medieval society.
