‎Found in Translation: Itinerant French Epics in Medieval Scandinavia‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Paperback, x + 256 pages, Size:152 x 229 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9780888443144.‎

‎Summary This volume contains English translations of three Old Norse?Icelandic renderings of French chansons de geste (Elis saga ok R samundu, Bevers saga, and Flovents saga), and of one Icelandic chivalric romance (B rings saga). The French epics translated into Old Norse-Icelandic were composed under the influence of courtly romance and were anonymous narratives subject to revision and recreation. These translations resulted in a new Icelandic genre, the riddarasaga or chivalric saga, of which B rings saga is the first.

‎Between Body and Soul in Old Norse Literature. Emotions and the Mutability of Form‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, 224 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503605883.‎

‎Summary What did the body mean for inhabitants of the medieval Norse-speaking world? How was the physical body viewed? Where did the boundary lie between corporality and the psychological or spiritual aspects of humanity? And how did such an understanding tie in with popular literary motifs such as shape-shifting? This monograph seeks to engage with these questions by offering the first focused work to delineate a space for ideas about the body within the Old Norse world. The connections between emotions and bodily changes are examined through discussion of the physical manifestations of emotion (tiredness, changes in facial colour, swelling), while the author offers a detailed analysis of the Old Norse term hamr, a word that could variously mean shape, form, and appearance, but also character. Attention is also paid to changes of physical form linked to flight and battle ecstasy, as well as to magical shapeshifting. Through this approach, diametrically different ways of thinking about the connection between body and soul can be found, and the argument made that within the Old Norse world, concepts of change within the body rested along a spectrum that ranged from the purely physical through to the psychological. In doing so, this volume offers a broader understanding of what physicality and spirituality might have meant in the Middle Ages. TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements Introduction.

‎Loanwords and Native Words in Old and Middle Icelandic. A Study in the History and Dynamics of the Icelandic Medieval Lexicon, from the Twelfth Century to 1550‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 332 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 5 col., 36 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503598154.‎

‎Summary Anyone familiar with the Modern Icelandic language will know that the country's policy is to avoid borrowing lexemes from other languages, and instead to draw on their own vocabulary. This often results in the formation of a word pair, consisting of a loanword and its respective native equivalent, as the process of borrowing systematically eludes the tight tangles of language policy. But how did this phenomenon develop in the Middle Ages, before a purist ideology was formed? This volume offers a unique analysis of a previously unexplored area of Old Norse linguistics by investigating the way in which loanwords and native synonyms interacted in the Middle Ages. Through a linguistic-philological investigation of texts from all medieval Icelandic prose genres, the book maps out the strategies by which the variation and interplay between loanwords and native words were manifested in medieval Iceland and suggests that it is possible to identify the same dynamics in other languages with a comparable literary tradition. In doing so, new light is shed on language development and usage in the Middle Ages, and the gap between case-study and general linguistic theory is bridged over.

‎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.

‎Woman's Rite. The Ritual of Churching of Women after Childbirth in Denmark, 1500-1965‎

‎, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, Pages: 331, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:20 b/w, 61 col., 4 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503620695.‎

‎Summary The Lutheran rite of 'churching' women after childbirth was long performed across Europe. It marked the liminal end of a woman's cycle of procreation - from pregnancy through to her first months as a new mother. Dating back to ancient Christianity, churching has rarely been studied in depth. Spanning four centuries, this volume offers a compelling case study of how religious practices persist, change, and disappear - and what they reveal about the enduring tensions between gender, ritual, and institutional control. It is a history of women and their everyday lives, but also a history of forgetting, for it centred on the messiness of childbirth - a female world long marginalized in historical narratives. This book examines the rules imposed on procreative women, whether during pregnancy or in the seclusion of confinement, and shows how churching became a feast day for the married mother, marking her return to church and society after weeks of separation. Unmarried mothers, by contrast, faced public shame and church discipline. These disparities expose how Lutheran society enforced moral boundaries, upheld sexual norms, and regulated procreative women's bodies. Drawing on a wealth of source material - most of it previously unexplored - this book reveals churching at the centre of communal life for centuries. Rooted in Denmark but with far wider resonance, A Woman's Rite restores churching to the history of European ritual and gendered religious life.

‎Werewolves in Old Norse-Icelandic Literature. Between the Monster and the Man‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 227 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:13 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503596006.‎

‎Summary At the heart of any story of metamorphosis lies the issue of identity, and the tales of the werwulf (lit. 'man-wolf') are just as much about the wolf as about the man. What are the constituents of the human in general? What symbolic significance do they hold? How do they differ for different types of human? How would it affect the individual if one or more of these elements were to be subtracted? Focusing on a group of Old Norse-Icelandic werewolf narratives, many of which have hitherto been little studied, this insightful book sets out to answer these questions by exploring how these texts understood and conceptualized what it means to be human. At the heart of this investigation are five factors key to the werewolf existence ?skin, clothing, food, landscape, and purpose ? and these are innovatively examined through a cross-disciplinary approach that carefully teases apart the interaction between two polarizations: the external and social, and the interior and psychological. Through this approach, the volume presents a comprehensive new look at the werewolf not only as a supernatural creature and a literary motif, but also as a metaphor that bears on the relationship between human and non-human, between Self and Other, and that is able to situate the Old-Norse texts into a broader intellectual discourse that extends beyond medieval Iceland and Norway.
