‎Women in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. Studies from Western Europe and North Africa‎

‎, Brepols, 2025 Hardback, Pages: 330, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:7 b/w, 5 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503617732.‎

‎Summary This collection of essays examines the lives of women of all classes during the centuries during and after the 'fall of Rome' across the various 'Barbarian' kingdoms of the Western Mediterranean and Europe. In order to address an important gap in current scholarship on women and gender in the post-Roman Western kingdoms, these contributions were assembled based on a series of panels presented at the Leeds International Medieval Conference in 2022. The volume focuses particularly on a bottom-up perspective, to analyse the place, role, and experiences of women in the daily life of the period, and on how such an approach might alter our view of the social, cultural, and religious history of these kingdoms. Limited by our sources, however, we also investigate the absence of women and gender concerns in our texts, and look for alternative fonts of knowledge, such as material culture, archaeology, poetry and epigraphy. The collection enriches our knowledge of women and gender in early medieval Western Europe and North Africa, especially by paying close attention to the social and cultural realities of lower-class women during this period.

‎Landscape and Myth in North-Western Europe‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, viii + 263 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:18 b/w, 3 tables b/w., 3 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503580401.‎

‎Summary This volume explores the intersection of landscape and myth in the context of north-western Atlantic Europe. From the landscapes of literature to the landscape as a lived environment, and from myths about supernatural beings to tales about the mythical roots of kingship, the contributions gathered here each develop their own take on the meanings behind 'landscape' and 'myth', and thus provide a broad cross-section of how these widely discussed concepts might be understood. Arising from papers delivered at the conference Landscape and Myth in North-Western Europe, held in Munich in April 2016, the volume draws together a wide selection of material ranging from texts and toponyms to maps and archaeological data, and it uses this diversity in method and material to explore the meaning of these terms in medieval Ireland, Wales, and Iceland. In doing so, it provides a broadly inclusive and yet carefully focused discussion of the inescapable and productive intertwining of landscape and myth.
