Finally got my own copy of this book. I’m hoping to use it in the not-too-distant future for more in-depth posts about the infamous Snorri Sturluson. #bookstagram #books #book #history #academia #medieval #medievalist #norse #viking #vikings #nordic #snorristurluson #norsemythology #asatru #paganism #heathenry

I wrote a brief (and unexpected) #blogpost about why 'red gold' comes up so often in Old Norse texts. Several explanations have been posed (as scholars tend to do), but I only share one that I like here. Take a moment to read it, if you'd like to know more.

‪Today at #kzoo2019 I finally met Jesse Byock, a scholar whom I’ve looked up to since studying medieval Iceland. To my astonishment, he already knew about (and likes) my blog! He even offered to have us work together on his website for Old Norse, vikingnorse.com‬ ↟ #oldnorse #medievalist #medieval #norse #vikings #vikings #nordic #language #linguistics #iceland #icelandic

Conference presentation went well! Spent the time afterwards relaxing a bit, wandering around looking at trees, and taking awkward selfies like this one. 🍁 #kzoo2019 #medievalist
