“Glamorous Sorcery: Magic and Literacy in the High Middle Ages” by David Rollo

"Rollo's highly specialised analysis examines the spread of literacy and the relationship between vernacular and latin literature in 12th-century Europe. He focuses on how secular and clerical writers used magic as a metaphor for writing and examines the literary devices and works of William of Malmesbury, Geoffrey of Monmouth, John of Salisbury, William Fitzstephen, Richard FitzNigel, Benôit de Sainte-Maure and Gerald of Wales. Extracts include English translations."
