The Medieval North and Its Afterlife

This book showcases the variety and vitality of contemporary scholarship on Old Norse and related medieval literatures and their modern afterlives. The volume features original new work on Old Norse poetry and saga, other languages and literatures of medieval north-western Europe, and the afterlife of Old Norse in modern English literature. Demonstrating the lively state of contemporary research on Old Norse and related subjects, this collection celebrates Heather O'Donoghue's extraordinary and enduring influence on the field, as manifested in the wide-ranging and innovative research of her former students and colleagues.
