This text book deals with magic, both natural and demonic within the broad context of medieval culture. Covering the years c. 500 to 1500 with a chapter on antiquity, it investigates the way magic relates to the many other cultural forms of the time, such as religion and science, literature and art.

I love the new set up, though the Google Friend Connect wasn't showing up when I visited.
I would love to win the book because I love reading about the Middle Ages for pleasure and research. :) How is that for a boring answer.
I follow Medieval Research via GFC (+1), Feedburner (+1), and NetworkedBlogs (+1). I also voted in the poll (+1). :)
This looks like an awesome book! I'd love to win it as a Christmas gift for my mom, because she studies Medieval times and magic (I'd also like to peek through it too! I bet it's full of great story ideas).

I would love to win the book Magic in the Middle Ages because
A: I love historical research and it would make a great addition to my research library. (The internet and ebooks are great; but nothing beats holding an actual book.)
B: I've always found the underlying psychological concepts and the sociology behind Magic in the Medieval world quite fascinating.
C: The historical romance I'm about to release features Medieval Magic and I might find some great ideas to use in the sequel.

This may well be a blog I revisit often. I REALLY want this book because of the YA Fantasy series I'm currently working on (yes, magic is definitely involved).
My email address is tanyaparkermills(at)mac(dot)com.
Okay, I'm a follower on Networked Blogs and GFC, I subscribed to Feedburner, and I voted for Henry V, so that should make for 4 more entries under my name.
Again, my email address is tanyaparkermills(at)mac(dot)com.
Keeping my fingers crossed!
Joyce, are you going to write a novel about the winning king--or with him in it? If so, can I vote more than once so that my king wins?
