Old English will only ever be Kennings for Beginners. Old Norse skalds will casually drop rausnarsamr Gripnis ríðviggs gnapsólar gnýstœrandi — ‘the magnificent increaser of the noise of the jutting sun of the riding horse of Gripnir’ to describe a warrior and not break a sweat..

It’s the start of term and I’m gearing up for a year as Associate Lecturer in Old Norse at UCL. After a couple of years of pure research, I’m genuinely excited to be back teaching: a heady blend of old Norse, Nordic history, history of the book, and comparative literature!
