There's a book called "A Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe", 
available at e23 (http://e23.sjgames.com/item.html?id=XRP1002), that may 
be of interest when discussing the subject of magic and society. It's 
primarily targeted at a d20 audience but it does contains some 
interesting thoughts. It discusses such things as magic and the law, 
magic in everyday life at a manor etc. It's 167-pages, most of the 
contents are about the society of western Europe in the middle ages and 
it costs $ 12.00.
