You should meet Andrew Scheil! I was talking to him at Kalamazoo this year, and he’s very interested in Old Norse and in developing inter-departmental cooperation among Germanic medievalists at Minnesota. He’s also a really nice guy.

Another Journal Round-Up coming soon. I don’t think we’ve got the latest Tijdschrift yet, but we definitely do receive Fornvännen: I’ll add both to the list.

Just thought I’d mention that Andrew Scheil teaches Old English and Beowulf at my university. I haven’t met the man, but have heard only good things.

I’ve also discovered that he is not a philologist, but is an absolute expert in all things Anglo-Saxon.

In my Gothic course, we’ve been laughing (at no one’s expense really) about how all the experts in any period of Old Germanic literature doesn’t know anything about phonetics. Don’t feel bad if you don’t, but it’s never too late to learn if you are excellent in Old Icelandic studies and/or speaking modern Icelandic.

Any news about the journal Tijdschrift Voor Skandinavistiek this year?

I also thought I’d mention this journal http://www.vitterhetsakad.se/fornvannen/?lang=eng
