The Routledge History of Medieval Magic: Routledge Histories

Autor Sophie Page, Catherine Rider
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 ian 2019
The Routledge History of Medieval Magic brings together the work of scholars from across Europe and North America to provide extensive insights into recent developments in the study of medieval magic between c.1100 and c.1500.
This book covers a wide range of topics, including the magical texts which circulated in medieval Europe, the attitudes of intellectuals and churchmen to magic, the ways in which magic intersected with other aspects of medieval culture, and the early witch trials of the fifteenth century. In doing so, it offers the reader a detailed look at the impact that magic had within medieval society, such as its relationship to gender roles, natural philosophy, and courtly culture. This is furthered by the book’s interdisciplinary approach, containing chapters dedicated to archaeology, literature, music, and visual culture, as well as texts and manuscripts.
The Routledge History of Medieval Magic also outlines how research on this subject could develop in the future, highlighting under-explored subjects, unpublished sources, and new approaches to the topic. It is the ideal book for both established scholars and students of medieval magic.

Recenzii

"The breadth of this volume – geographical, linguistic, chronological and disciplinary – is a
huge feat, and The Routledge History of Medieval Magic is an important addition to existing
scholarship. The sections entitled ‘Future directions’ are perhaps the book’s most important
component, providing a way forward for future research in a field that offers so much, standing as
it does, in the words of Kieckhefer, at a ‘kind of crossroads where different pathways in medieval
culture converge’." Joanne Edge Ceræ: An Australasian Journal of Medieval and Early Modern Studies
