Glamorous Sorcery: Magic and Literacy in the High Middle AgesU of Minnesota Press, 2000 - 231 "Glamorous Sorcery demonstrates how closely interconnected certain types of vernacular and Latin writing were in this period. Uncovered through a series of illuminating, incisive, and often surprising close readings, these connections give us a new, more complex appraisal of the relationship between literacy, social status, and political power in a time and place in which various languages competed for cultural sovereignty - at a critical juncture in the cultural history of the West."--BOOK JACKET. |
